focused on the drybulk industry spot market. We were formed by Genco Shipping&nbsp;&amp; Trading Limited (NYSE: GNK), a leading international drybulk shipping company that also serves as our Manager. On
March&nbsp;15, 2010, we announced the completion of our initial public offering ("IPO") of 16,300,000 shares of Common Stock at $14.00 per share, raising gross proceeds of $228.2&nbsp;million
before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. With the net proceeds of our IPO, together with a $75&nbsp;million capital contribution from Genco, we
entered into agreements to acquire our initial fleet of six vessels, consisting of four Supramax vessels and two Capesize vessels. Five of these vessels have been delivered, and the remaining vessel
is expected to be delivered in October 2010. In June 2010, we entered into agreements to acquire three Handysize drybulk vessels from affiliates of Metrostar Management Corporation ("Metrostar") for
an aggregate purchase price of approximately $99.8&nbsp;million. The first of these vessels, namely the Baltic Wind, was delivered to us on August&nbsp;4, 2010, and the remaining two vessels are
expected to be delivered between August 2010 and October 2010. We have used our $100&nbsp;million revolving credit facility to fund the deposits and purchase price of the first vessel of this
acquisition, and we intend to repay the incurred indebtedness with proceeds from this offering. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
current fleet consists of drybulk vessels that transport iron ore, coal, grain, steel products and other drybulk cargoes along worldwide shipping routes. We operate all of our
vessels in the spot market, on spot market-related time charters, or in vessel pools trading in the spot market. We aim to grow our fleet through timely and selective acquisitions of vessels in a
manner that is accretive to our earnings and cash flow. We expect to finance future vessel acquisitions primarily with equity capital and borrowings under our revolving credit facility for bridge
financing purposes, and to utilize little to no leverage. We intend to distribute to our shareholders on a quarterly basis all of our net income less cash expenditures for capital items related to our
fleet, other than vessel acquisitions and related expenses, plus non-cash compensation, during the previous quarter, subject to any additional reserves our board of directors may from time
to time determine are required for the prudent conduct of our business, as further described below under "Our Dividend Policy and Restrictions on Dividends." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
operations are managed, under the supervision of our board of directors, by Genco as our Manager. Upon the closing of our IPO, we entered into a long-term management
agreement (the "Management Agreement") pursuant to which our Manager and its affiliates will apply their expertise and </FONT></P>

<P ALIGN="CENTER" style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Our Relationship with Genco Shipping&nbsp;&amp; Trading Limited  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;One of our key strengths is our relationship with Genco, a leading international drybulk shipping company with a market capitalization
of approximately $613.9&nbsp;million as of August&nbsp;9, 2010 which also serves as our Manager. Genco has developed strong relationships with major international charterers, shipbuilders and
financial institutions through its seasoned management team. Genco's management team is based in New York City and includes several executives with extensive experience in the shipping industry,
including managing the strategic, commercial, technical and financial aspects of shipping businesses. </FONT></P>

to purchase four 2009-built Supramax drybulk vessels for an aggregate price of approximately $140.0&nbsp;million. In addition, on February&nbsp;22, 2010, we entered into agreements
with subsidiaries of another unaffiliated third-party seller under which we agreed to purchase two newbuilding Capesize drybulk vessels for an aggregate price of approximately $144.2&nbsp;million.
Five of these vessels have been delivered, and the remaining vessel is expected to be delivered in October 2010. </FONT></P>

institutions, shipbuilders, and vessel owners. Since its initial public offering in 2005, Genco has chartered its vessels on long-term time charters with a number of well-known
charterers in the drybulk shipping industry. Genco has also developed a network of relationships with vessel brokers who help facilitate vessel charters and acquisitions. Over the last few years,
Genco has also had dealings with various shipbuilders responsible for the construction of seven drybulk vessels that Genco agreed to acquire. Genco has also established relationships with a number of
vessel owners who, from time to time, have become an important source for vessel acquisitions. In addition, Genco has relationships with banks which provide vessel financing. Genco has executed four
credit facilities since its inception to finance vessel purchases and has successfully raised equity capital through its initial public offering and two follow-on offerings which were
underwritten by well-known investment banks.  </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>

believe that owning a modern, high-quality fleet is more attractive to charterers, reduces operating costs and fuel consumption and allows our fleet to be more reliable, which improves
utilization. We believe that, as a result, we have a competitive advantage in securing favorable employment of our vessels. When purchasing vessels in the future, we plan to seek vessels with similar

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our strategy is to employ a profitable fleet of drybulk vessels in the spot market and to grow our business through accretive vessel
acquisitions. As detailed below, our strategy largely relies on blending certain complementary elements of vessel employment with a capital structure that supports our operations. For example, we
believe that by focusing on the drybulk spot market and seeking to pay quarterly dividends, we provide equity investors with the opportunity to gain exposure to the trends of the drybulk shipping
industry, and are attractive to investors. We believe that by relying primarily on equity financing, we will be in a better position to withstand the volatility of the spot market and will have more
cash available to pay dividends than if we relied primarily on debt financing. Key elements of our business strategy include: </FONT></P>

shareholders with the opportunity to invest in a company with a strategic focus on the drybulk spot market by deploying our vessels on voyage or time charters or in vessel pools that are related to
the spot market. The spot market is volatile and holds the potential for significant increases or decreases in shipping rates over time. Upward movements in spot rates have the potential to increase
our revenues, and we will have opportunities to take advantage of these upswings by not locking our vessels into long-term, fixed-rate time charters. Conversely, our revenues
may decline if the spot market does, and we will not benefit from the stabilizing effect of fixed-rate time charters. The spot market may be affected by whether the global economy declines
or recovers, particularly with respect to economies outside the United States such as China and India, which have been the primary drivers of drybulk trade in recent years. Further, while economic
health is one factor influencing demand, supply of drybulk vessels is also an important factor affecting spot market rates. An undersupply of drybulk vessels could lead to higher spot market rates
despite weak economic conditions, while an oversupply of drybulk vessels could lead to lower spot market rates despite strong economic conditions. Because we generate virtually all of our revenues in
U.S. Dollars, the current weakness of the U.S. Dollar does </FONT></DD></DL>

expenditures for vessels, other than vessel acquisitions and related expenses plus non-cash compensation. See "Our Dividend Policy." As we intend to primarily finance future vessel
acquisitions through equity financing as well as internally generated cash flow and to maintain little to no leverage, we expect our cash flow to be sufficient to support quarterly dividends. By
paying dividends in this manner, our goal is to make our common stock more attractive to investors to enhance our ability to conduct equity financings, which we intend to use primarily for our
financing needs. Our board of directors has declared a dividend of $0.16 per share for the second quarter of 2010, which represents our first full quarter of operation.  </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>

using equity to finance our business will strengthen our balance sheet to help offset the volatility risk of trading our vessels in the spot market. We also believe that focusing on equity rather than
debt financing will help us capitalize on opportunities if the spot market improves as well as reduce the impact debt covenant restrictions and scheduled debt payments would have on our business if
the spot market declines. In our view, this strategy is suited to the current global economic downturn, given the ongoing restricted flow of credit, and we intend to pursue this strategy whether the
global economic downturn persists or abates. However, our use of equity rather than debt financing may result in substantial dilution to our shareholders.  </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>

acquisition strategy is to pursue vessels at attractive valuations relative to the valuation of our public equity. In the current market, asset values in the drybulk shipping industry are at

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior to the date of our IPO, Genco, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC, made a capital contribution to
us of $75&nbsp;million in exchange for 5,699,088 shares of our Class&nbsp;B Stock. Simultaneously, Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC surrendered to us 100 shares of our capital stock that it held
previously. Under the terms of our amended and restated articles of incorporation, shares of our Class&nbsp;B Stock entitle the holder to 15 votes per share. As a result, as of the date of this

make an irrevocable election to do so, our Class&nbsp;B Stock will be limited to an aggregate maximum of 49% of the combined voting power of our Common Stock and Class&nbsp;B Stock. In addition,
pursuant to the subscription agreement between us and Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC, for so long as Genco directly or indirectly holds at least 10% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of our
Common Stock and Class&nbsp;B Stock, Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC will be entitled to receive an additional number of shares of Class&nbsp;B Stock equal to 2% of the number of shares of Common
Stock issued after the consummation of our IPO, excluding any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option in our IPO or issued as an award
or issuable upon exercise of an award under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. Only Genco, Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC or other entities controlled by Genco hold Class&nbsp;B Stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In recent years, businesses operating in the global economy have faced tightening credit, weakening demand for goods and services,
deteriorating international liquidity conditions, and declining markets. At times, lower demand for drybulk cargoes as well as diminished trade credit available for the delivery of such cargoes have
led to decreased demand for drybulk vessels, creating downward pressure on charter rates. Although vessel values have stabilized over the past few months, general market volatility has resulted from
uncertainty about sovereign debt and fears of countries such as Greece, Portugal and Spain defaulting on their governments' financial obligations. If the current global economic environment persists
or worsens, we may be negatively affected in the following ways: </FONT></P>

occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and ability to pay dividends. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Charterhire rates for drybulk carriers are volatile and are currently at relatively low levels as compared to recent historical levels and may further decrease in the
future, which may adversely affect our earnings.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The abrupt and dramatic downturn in the drybulk charter market, from which we derive substantially all of our revenues, has severely
affected the drybulk shipping industry. The Baltic Dry Index, an index published by The Baltic Exchange of shipping rates for 20 key drybulk routes, fell 94% from a peak of 11,793 in May 2008 to a low
of 663 in December 2008. To date in 2010, it has traded between a high of 4,209 on May&nbsp;26, 2010 and a low of 1,700 on July&nbsp;15, 2010. As of August&nbsp;2, 2010, the Baltic Dry Index was
1,977. There can be no assurance that the drybulk charter market will recover over the next several months and the market could continue to decline further. These circumstances, which result from the
economic dislocation worldwide and the disruption of the credit markets, have had a number of adverse consequences for drybulk shipping, including, among other things: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Because we charter all of our vessels principally in the spot market or on spot market-related time charters known as trip charters, or
we may acquire vessels that are subject to existing charters, we are exposed to the cyclicality and volatility of the spot charter market, and we will not have long term, fixed rate time charters to
ameliorate the adverse effects of downturns in the spot market. Capesize vessels, which we operate as part of our fleet, have been particularly susceptible to recent volatility in spot charter rates.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully charter our vessels in the future at rates sufficient to allow us to meet our obligations or to pay dividends to our shareholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
supply of and demand for shipping capacity strongly influences freight rates. In addition, vessels may experience repeated periods of unemployment between spot charters. The
successful operation of our vessels in the spot market depends upon, among other things, obtaining profitable spot charters and minimizing, to the extent possible, time spent waiting for charters and
time spent traveling unladen to pick up cargo, or ballast time. In the past, there have been periods when spot rates have declined below the operating cost of vessels. Future spot rates may decline
significantly and may not be sufficient to enable our vessels trading in the spot market to operate profitably or for us to pay dividends and may have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and
financial condition. Because the factors affecting the supply and demand for vessels are outside of our control and are unpredictable, the nature, timing, direction and degree of changes in industry
conditions are also unpredictable. The current global financial crisis has intensified this unpredictability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
anticipate that the future demand for our drybulk carriers will be dependent upon economic growth in the world's economies, including China and India, seasonal and regional changes in
demand, changes in the capacity of the global drybulk carrier fleet and the sources and supply of drybulk cargo to be transported by sea. The capacity of the global drybulk carrier fleet seems likely
to increase, and we can provide no assurance as to the timing or extent of future economic growth. Adverse economic, political, social or other developments could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and ability to pay dividends. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> An oversupply of drybulk carrier capacity may lead to reductions in charterhire rates, vessel values and profitability.  </I></B></FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The market supply of drybulk carriers has been increasing as a result of the delivery of numerous newbuilding orders over the last few

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our business and the operation of our vessels are materially affected by governmental regulation in the form of international
conventions and national, state and local laws and regulations in force in the jurisdictions in which our vessels operate, as well as in the countries of their registration. Because such conventions,
laws, and regulations are often revised, we cannot predict the ultimate cost of complying with them or their impact on the resale prices or useful lives of our vessels. Additional conventions, laws
and regulations may be adopted that could limit our ability to do business or increase the cost of our doing business and that may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash

assurances with respect to our operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
operation of our vessels is affected by the requirements set forth in the United Nations' International Maritime Organization's International Management Code for the Safe Operation
of Ships and Pollution Prevention, or ISM Code. The ISM Code requires shipowners, ship managers and bareboat charterers to develop and maintain an extensive "Safety Management System" that includes
the adoption of a safety and environmental protection policy setting forth instructions and procedures for safe operation and describing procedures for dealing with emergencies. The failure of a
shipowner or bareboat charterer to comply with the ISM Code may subject it to increased liability, may invalidate
existing insurance or decrease available insurance coverage for the affected vessels and may result in a denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
IMO adopted the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, or the Bunker Convention, to impose strict liability on ship owners for pollution damage
in jurisdictional waters of ratifying states caused by discharges of bunker fuel. The Bunker Convention, which became effective on November&nbsp;21, 2008, requires registered owners of ships over
1,000 gross tons to maintain insurance or other financial security for pollution damage in an amount equal to the limits of liability under the applicable national or international limitation regime
(but not exceeding the amount calculated in accordance with the Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims of 1976, as amended). With respect to non-ratifying states, liability for
spills or releases of oil carried as fuel in ship's bunkers typically is determined by the national or other domestic laws in the jurisdiction where the events or damages occur. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
United States Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or OPA, established an extensive regulatory and liability regime for the protection and cleanup of the environment from oil spills. OPA
affects all owners and operators whose vessels trade in the United States, its territories and possessions or whose vessels operate in U.S. waters. OPA allows for potentially unlimited liability
without regard to fault of vessel owners, operators and bareboat charterers for all containment and clean-up costs and other damages arising from discharges or threatened discharges of oil
from their vessels, including bunkers, in U.S. waters. OPA also expressly permits individual states to impose their own liability regimes with regard to hazardous materials and oil pollution materials
occurring within their boundaries. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that began in April 2010 may also result in additional regulatory initiatives or statutes, including the raising of liability
caps under OPA, that may affect our operations or require us to incur additional expenses to comply with such regulatory initiatives or statutes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since
the terrorist attacks of September&nbsp;11, 2001, there have been a variety of initiatives intended to enhance vessel security. On November&nbsp;25, 2002, the U.S. Maritime
Transportation Security Act of 2002, or the MTSA, came into effect. To implement certain portions of the MTSA, in July 2003, the U.S. Coast Guard issued regulations requiring the implementation of
certain security requirements aboard vessels operating in waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Similarly, in December 2002, amendments to the International Convention for the
Safety of Life at Sea, or SOLAS, created a new chapter of the convention dealing specifically with maritime security. The new chapter became effective in July 2004 and imposes various detailed
security obligations on vessels and port authorities, most of which are contained in the International Ship and Port Facilities Security Code, or the ISPS Code. The ISPS Code is designed to protect
ports and international shipping against terrorism. After July&nbsp;1, 2004, to trade internationally, a vessel must attain an International Ship Security Certificate from a recognized security
organization approved by the vessel's flag state. For a further description of the various requirements, please see "Business&#151;Environmental and Other Regulations&#151;Vessel
Security Regulations." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
United States Coast Guard (USCG) has developed the Electronic Notice of Arrival/Departure (e-NOA/D) application to provide the means of fulfilling the arrival and
departure notification requirements of the USCG and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) online. Prior to September&nbsp;11, 2001, ships or their agents notified the Marine Safety Office
(MSO)/Captain Of The Port (COTP) zone, within 24&nbsp;hours of the vessel's arrival via telephone, facsimile (fax), or electronic mail (e-mail). Due to the events of September&nbsp;11,
2001, the USCG's National Vessel Movement Center (NVMC)/Ship Arrival Notification System (SANS) was set up as part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) initiative. Also, as a result of
this initiative, the advanced notice time requirement changed from 24&nbsp;hours' notice to 96&nbsp;hours' notice (or 24&nbsp;hours' notice, depending upon normal transit time). The NOAs and/or
NODs continue to be submitted via telephone, fax, or e-mail, but are now to be submitted to the NVMC, where watch personnel entered the information into a central USCG database.
Additionally, the National Security Agency has identified certain countries known for high terrorist activities and if a vessel has either called some of these identified countries in its previous
ports and/or the members of the crew are from any of these identified countries, more stringent security requirements must be met. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
June&nbsp;6, 2005, the Advanced Passenger Information System (APIS) Final Rule became effective (19CFR 4.7b and 4.64). Pursuant to these regulations, a commercial carrier arriving
into or departing from the United States is required to electronically transmit an APIS manifest to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through an approved electronic interchange and programming

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The international shipping industry is an inherently risky business involving global operations. Our vessels are at risk of damage or
loss because of events such as mechanical failure, collision, human error, war, terrorism, piracy, cargo loss and bad weather. All these hazards can result in death or injury to persons, increased
costs, loss of revenues, loss or damage to property (including cargo), environmental damage, higher insurance rates, damage to our customer relationships, harm to our reputation as a safe and reliable
operator and delay or rerouting. In addition, changing economic, regulatory and political conditions in some countries, including political and military conflicts, have from time to time resulted in
attacks on vessels, mining of waterways, piracy, terrorism, labor strikes and boycotts. These sorts of events could interfere with shipping routes and result in market disruptions which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and ability to pay dividends. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
our vessels suffer damage, they may need to be repaired at a drydocking facility. The costs of drydock repairs are unpredictable and can be substantial. We may have to pay drydocking
costs that our insurance does not cover in full. In addition, space at drydocking facilities is sometimes limited and not all drydocking facilities are conveniently located. We may be unable to find
space at a suitable drydocking facility or we may be forced to travel to a drydocking facility that is distant from the relevant vessel's position. The loss of earnings while our vessels are being
repaired and repositioned or from being forced to wait for space or to travel to more distant drydocking facilities, as well as the actual cost of repairs, could negatively impact our business,
results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and ability to pay dividends. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The operation of certain ship types, such as drybulk carriers, has certain unique risks. With a drybulk carrier, the cargo itself and
its interaction with the vessel can be an operational risk. By their nature, drybulk cargoes are often heavy, dense, easily shifted, and react badly to water exposure. In addition, drybulk carriers
are often subjected to battering treatment during unloading operations with grabs, jackhammers (to pry encrusted cargoes out of the hold) and small bulldozers. This treatment may cause damage to the
vessel. Vessels damaged due to treatment during unloading procedures may be more susceptible to breach to the sea. Hull breaches in drybulk carriers may lead to the flooding of the vessels' holds. If
a drybulk carrier suffers flooding in its forward holds, the bulk cargo may become so dense and waterlogged that its pressure may buckle the vessel's bulkheads, leading to the loss of a vessel. If we
are unable to adequately maintain our vessels, we may be unable to prevent these events. Any of these circumstances or events may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
cash flows, financial condition and ability to pay dividends. In addition, the loss of any of our vessels could harm our reputation as a safe and reliable vessel owner and operator. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Acts of piracy have historically affected ocean-going vessels trading in regions of the world such as the South China Sea, the Indian

Gulf of Aden off the coast of Somalia. If these piracy attacks result in regions in which our vessels are deployed being characterized by insurers as "war risk" zones, or Joint War Committee (JWC)
"war and strikes" listed areas, premiums payable for such coverage could increase significantly and such insurance coverage may be more difficult to obtain. In addition, crew costs, including costs

arrest or attachment of one or more of our vessels could result in a significant loss of earnings for the related off-hire period. In addition, in jurisdictions where the "sister ship"
theory of liability applies, a claimant may arrest the vessel which is subject to the claimant's maritime lien and any "associated" vessel, which is any vessel owned or controlled by the same owner.

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Spot charter arrangements generally provide that the vessel owner or pool operator bear the cost of fuel in the form of bunkers, which
is a significant vessel operating expense. While all of our vessels are currently on spot-related time charters, they may be placed on spot charters in the future. If our vessels are
placed on spot charters, an increase in the price of fuel beyond our expectations could adversely affect our profitability, cash flows and ability to pay dividends. The price and supply of fuel is
unpredictable and fluctuates as a result of events outside our control, including geo-political developments, supply and demand for oil and gas, actions by members of the Organization of
the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil and gas producers, war and unrest in oil producing countries and regions, regional production patterns and environmental concerns and regulations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Given
that the vessel owner or pool operator bears the cost of fuel under spot charters, the recent volatility in fuel prices is one factor affecting profitability in the drybulk spot
market. To profitably price an individual charter, the vessel owner or pool operator must take into account the anticipated cost of fuel for the duration of the charter. Changes in the actual price of
fuel at the time the charter is to be performed could result in the charter being performed at a significantly greater or lesser profit than originally anticipated or even result in a loss. As an
example of the volatility of fuel prices, in the last 12&nbsp;months, the purchase price in the port of Singapore of one of the most common fuels used by drybulk vessels has fluctuated from
approximately $414 to $509 per metric ton. The price of fuel varies from port to port. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We operate our vessels in markets that have historically exhibited seasonal variations in demand and, as a result, charter rates. This
seasonality may result in quarter-to-quarter volatility in our operating results, as our vessels trade in the spot market. The drybulk sector is typically stronger in the fall
and winter months in anticipation of increased consumption of coal and raw materials in the northern hemisphere during the winter months. As a result, our revenues could be weaker during the fiscal
quarters ended June&nbsp;30 and September&nbsp;30, and conversely, our revenue could be stronger during the quarters ended December&nbsp;31 and March&nbsp;31. This seasonality could have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and ability to pay dividends. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our officers and directors have fiduciary duties to manage our business in a manner beneficial to us and our shareholders. However, our

duties to manage the business of Genco and its affiliates in a manner beneficial to such entities and their shareholders. Consequently, these officers and directors may encounter situations in which
their fiduciary obligations to Genco and us are in conflict. We believe the principal situations in which these conflicts may occur are in the allocation of business opportunities to Genco or us,
particularly with respect to the allocation of chartering or vessel sale and purchase opportunities. The Omnibus Agreement is intended to reduce these conflicts by granting a right of first refusal
for certain spot chartering opportunities to us while granting a right of first refusal to Genco for other business opportunities generally. The resolution of these conflicts may not always be in our

Mr.&nbsp;Georgiopoulos has informed us that so long as he is a director of our company, prior to making an investment in an entity owning or operating drybulk vessels, he intends to disclose the
details of such investment to our board and our independent directors and allow us to pursue the opportunity, subject to Genco's right of first refusal, to the extent we choose to do so and are able.
However, in the event we choose not to, or are unable to, pursue any such opportunity, Mr.&nbsp;Georgiopoulos may proceed, either alone or with others, with such investments. As a result of such
investments, Mr.&nbsp;Georgiopoulos may have independent interests in the ownership and operation of drybulk vessels that may conflict with our interests. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our current business strategy includes growth through the acquisition of previously owned vessels. While we typically inspect
previously owned vessels before purchase, this does not provide us with the same knowledge about their condition that we would have had if these vessels had been built for and operated exclusively by
us. Accordingly, we may not discover defects or other problems with such vessels before purchase. Any such hidden defects or problems, when detected, may be expensive to repair, and if not detected,
may result in accidents or other incidents for which we may become liable to third parties. Also, when purchasing previously owned vessels, we do not receive the benefit of any builder warranties if

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In

and enhanced security measures implemented after September&nbsp;11, 2001 and as a result of a recent increase in the frequency of acts of piracy, have been increasing. In addition, to the extent we
employ our vessels on voyage charters, we will also have to bear the cost of bunkers. The price of bunker fuel may increase in the future. If our vessels suffer damage, they may need to be repaired at

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to fund our capital expenditures, we generally plan to use equity financing. If equity financing is not available on favorable
terms, we may have to use debt financing. Our ability to borrow money and access the capital markets through future offerings may be limited by our financial condition at the time of any such offering
as well as by adverse market conditions resulting from, among other things, general economic conditions and contingencies and uncertainties that are beyond our control. Our failure to obtain the funds
for necessary future capital expenditures could limit our ability to continue to operate some of our vessels or impair the values of our vessels and could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and ability to pay dividends. Even if we are successful in obtaining such funds through financings, the terms of such financings could
further limit our ability to pay dividends. </FONT></P>

will conduct all of our operations and own all of our operating assets. We have no significant assets other than the equity interests in our wholly-owned subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to
satisfy our financial obligations and to pay dividends to our shareholders will depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us. In turn, the ability of our subsidiaries to make
dividend payments to us will depend on them having profits available for distribution and, to the extent that we are unable to obtain dividends from our subsidiaries, this will limit the discretion of
our board of directors to pay or recommend the payment of dividends. </FONT></P>

governance practices, and these requirements may continue to evolve. Our Manager, management personnel, and other personnel, if any, will need to devote a substantial amount of time to comply with

and our results of operations.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our success depends to a significant extent upon the abilities and efforts of our management and our ability to hire and retain key
members of management. The loss of any of these individuals could adversely affect our business prospects and financial condition. Difficulty in hiring and retaining personnel could have a material
adverse effect our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and ability to pay dividends. We do not intend to maintain "key man" life insurance on any of our officers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> We may not have adequate insurance to compensate us if we lose our vessels or to compensate third parties.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There are a number of risks associated with the operation of ocean-going vessels, including mechanical failure, collision, human error,
war, terrorism, piracy, property loss, cargo loss or damage and business interruption due to political circumstances in foreign countries, hostilities and labor strikes. Any of these events may result
in loss of revenues, increased costs and decreased cash flows. In addition, the operation of any vessel is subject to the inherent possibility of marine disaster, including oil spills and other
environmental mishaps, and the liabilities arising from owning and operating vessels in international trade. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
are insured against tort claims and some contractual claims (including claims related to environmental damage and pollution) through memberships in protection and indemnity
associations or clubs, or P&amp;I Associations. As a result of such membership, the P&amp;I Associations will provide us coverage for such tort and contractual claims. We also carry hull and machinery
insurance and war risk insurance for our fleet. We insure our vessels for third-party liability claims subject to and in accordance with the rules of the P&amp;I Associations in which the vessels are
entered. We also maintain insurance against loss of hire, which covers business interruptions that result in the loss of use of a vessel. We can give no assurance that we are adequately insured
against all risks. We may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage for our fleet in the future. The insurers may not pay particular claims. Our insurance policies contain deductibles for
which we will be responsible and limitations and exclusions which may increase our costs or lower our revenue. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
cannot assure you that we will be able to renew our insurance policies on the same or commercially reasonable terms, or at all, in the future. For example, more stringent
environmental regulations have led in the past to increased costs for, and in the future may result in the lack of availability of, protection and indemnity insurance against risks of environmental
damage or pollution. Any uninsured or underinsured loss could harm our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and ability to pay dividends. In addition, our insurance may be
voidable by the insurers as a result of certain of our actions, such as our ships failing to maintain certification with applicable maritime self-regulatory organizations. Further, we
cannot assure you that our insurance policies will cover all losses that we incur, or that disputes over insurance claims will not arise with our insurance carriers. Any claims covered by insurance
would be subject to deductibles, and since it is possible that a large number of claims may be brought, the aggregate amount of these deductibles could be material. In addition, our insurance policies
are subject to limitations and exclusions, which may increase our costs or lower our revenues, thereby possibly having a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows,
financial condition and ability to pay dividends. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are indemnified for legal liabilities incurred while operating our vessels through membership in P&amp;I Associations. P&amp;I Associations
are mutual insurance associations whose members must contribute to cover losses sustained by other association members. The objective of a P&amp;I Association is to provide mutual insurance based on the
aggregate tonnage of a member's vessels entered into the association. Claims are paid through the aggregate premiums of all members of the association, although members </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We do not currently qualify for an exemption pursuant to Section&nbsp;883 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), which we refer to as Section&nbsp;883. As a result, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our shipping income that is derived from U.S. sources as described below. To the extent
we are subject to such tax, our net income and cash flows would be reduced by the amount of such tax. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
would qualify for exemption under Section&nbsp;883 if, among other things, one or more classes of our stock representing, in the aggregate, more than 50% of the combined voting
power and value of all classes of our stock were treated as primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market in the United States. Under applicable Treasury regulations, we may not
satisfy this publicly traded requirement in any taxable year in which 50% or more of any class(es) of stock we rely on to meet this rule is owned for more than half the days in such year by persons
who actually or constructively own 5% or more of such class(es) of our stock, which we sometimes refer to as 5% shareholders. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of the date of this prospectus, our Common Stock represents more than 50% of the value of all classes of our stock, but less than 50% of the combined voting power of all classes of
our stock. Unless the holders of the Class&nbsp;B Stock irrevocably elect to limit their aggregate voting power to 49%, our Class&nbsp;B Stock will represent more than 50% of the combined voting
power of all classes of our voting
stock and will not be treated as primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market in the United States. Therefore, we do not currently qualify for exemption under Section&nbsp;883.
As a result, 50% of our gross shipping income attributable to transportation beginning or ending in the United States, if any, will be subject to a 4% tax without allowance for deductions. While we do
not currently anticipate that a significant portion of our shipping income will be U.S. source shipping income, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the event that holders of a majority of the Class&nbsp;B Stock irrevocably elect to reduce the voting power of the Class&nbsp;B Stock to constitute not more than 49% of the total
voting power of all classes of stock, our Common Stock will represent more than 50% of the combined voting power and value of all classes of our stock. However, there can be no assurance as to if and
when holders of Class&nbsp;B Stock may do so, and we have no right to require these holders to do so. Even if that were to occur, if 5% shareholders of the Common Stock were to own more than 50% of
our Common Stock for more than half the days of any taxable year, we may nonetheless not be eligible to claim exemption from tax under Section&nbsp;883 for such taxable year. </FONT></P>

enforcement thereof by any tax authority. For example, legislative proposals have been introduced in the U.S. Congress which, if enacted, could change the circumstances under which we would be treated
as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could materially and adversely affect our effective tax rate and cash tax position and require us to take action, at potentially
significant expense, to seek to preserve our effective tax rate and cash tax position. We cannot predict the outcome of any specific legislative proposals. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> U.S. tax authorities could treat us as a "passive foreign investment company," which could have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. shareholders.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A foreign corporation generally will be treated as a "passive foreign investment company," which we sometimes refer to as a PFIC, for
U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (1)&nbsp;at least 75% of its gross income for any taxable year consists of "passive income" or (2)&nbsp;at least 50% of its assets (averaged over the
year and generally determined based upon value) produce or are held for the production of "passive income." U.S. shareholders of a PFIC are subject to a disadvantageous U.S. federal income tax regime
with respect to distributions they receive from the PFIC and gain, if any, they derive from the sale or other disposition of their stock in the PFIC. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
purposes of these tests, "passive income" generally includes dividends, interest, gains from the sale or exchange of investment property and rents and royalties other than rents and
royalties which are received from unrelated parties in connection with the active conduct of a trade or business, as defined in applicable Treasury regulations. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we would otherwise be a PFIC in our "start-up year" (defined as the first taxable year we earn gross income), we will not be treated as a PFIC in that taxable year,
provided that (i)&nbsp;no predecessor corporation was a PFIC, (ii)&nbsp;it is established to the United States Internal Revenue Service's satisfaction that we will not be a PFIC in either of the
two succeeding taxable years, and (iii)&nbsp;we are not, in fact, a PFIC for either succeeding taxable year. We will attempt to conduct our affairs in a manner so that, if applicable, we will
satisfy the start-up year exception, but we cannot assure you that we will so qualify. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
purposes of these tests, income derived from the performance of services does not constitute "passive income." By contrast, rental income would generally constitute passive income
unless we were treated under specific rules as deriving our rental income in the active conduct of a trade or business. Based on our planned operations and certain estimates of our gross income and
gross assets, we do not believe that we will be a PFIC with respect to any taxable year. In this regard, we treat the gross income we derive or are deemed to derive from our spot chartering activities
as services income, rather than rental income. Accordingly, we believe that (1)&nbsp;our income from our spot chartering activities does not constitute passive income and (2)&nbsp;the assets that
we own and operate in connection with the production of that income do not constitute passive assets. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While
there is no direct legal authority under the PFIC rules addressing our method of operation, there is legal authority supporting this position consisting of case law and
pronouncements by the United States Internal Revenue Service, which we sometimes refer to as the IRS, concerning the characterization of income derived from time charters and voyage charters as
services income for other tax purposes. However, it should be noted that there is also authority which characterizes time charter income as rental income rather than services income for other tax
purposes. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court of law will accept our position, and there is a risk that the IRS or a court of law could determine that we are a PFIC.
Moreover, because there are uncertainties in the application of the PFIC rules, because the PFIC test is an annual test, and because, although we intend to manage our business so as to avoid PFIC
status to the extent consistent with our other business goals, there could be changes in the nature and extent of our operations in future years, there can be no assurance that we will not become a
PFIC in any taxable year. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we were to be treated as a PFIC for any taxable year (and regardless of whether we remain a PFIC for subsequent taxable years), our U.S. shareholders would face adverse U.S. tax
consequences. Under the PFIC rules, unless a shareholder makes certain elections available under the Code (which elections could themselves have adverse consequences for such shareholder, as discussed
under the section captioned "Tax Considerations&#151;U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S. Holders&#151;Passive Foreign Investment Company Status and Significant Tax Consequences"), such
shareholder would be liable to pay U.S. federal income tax at the highest applicable income tax rates on ordinary income upon the receipt of excess distributions and upon any gain from the disposition
of our Common Stock, plus interest on such amounts, as if such </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under our amended and restated articles of incorporation, our Class&nbsp;B Stock has 15 votes per share, and our Common Stock has one
vote per share resulting in Genco controlling in excess of 50% of the combined voting power of these two classes of stock. However, if
holders of a majority of the Class&nbsp;B Stock make an irrevocable election to do so, the aggregate voting power of the Class&nbsp;B Stock will be limited to a maximum of 49% of the voting power
of our outstanding Common Stock and Class&nbsp;B Stock, voting together as a single class. As of the date of this prospectus, Genco owns shares of our Class&nbsp;B Stock representing 81.65% of the
voting power of our outstanding capital stock through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC, and after the consummation of this offering, Genco will own shares of Class&nbsp;B
Stock representing&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock (&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full). In addition,

pursuant to the subscription agreement between us and Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC, for so long as Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC or its affiliates holds at least 10% of the aggregate number of
outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Class&nbsp;B Stock, Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC will be entitled to receive an additional number of shares of Class&nbsp;B Stock equal to 2% of the

our shareholders for approval even though it owns significantly less than 50% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Class&nbsp;B Stock. This concentrated control
limits our Common Stock holders' ability to influence corporate matters and, as a result, we may take actions that our Common Stock holders do not view as beneficial. As a result, the market price of
our Common Stock could be adversely affected. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which does not have a well-developed body of corporate law and
may make it more difficult for our shareholders to protect their interests. Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated
by-laws and the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act, or BCA. The provisions of the BCA resemble provisions of the corporation laws of a number of states in the United States. The
rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors
under the law of the Marshall Islands are not as clearly established as the rights and fiduciary responsibilities of directors under statutes or judicial precedent in existence in certain U.S.
jurisdictions and there have been few judicial cases in the Marshall Islands interpreting the BCA. Shareholder rights may differ as well. While the BCA does specifically incorporate the
non-statutory law, or judicial case law, of the State of Delaware and other states with substantially similar legislative provisions, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in
protecting their interests in the face of actions by the management, directors or controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction. Therefore, you
may have more difficulty in protecting your interests as a shareholder in the face of actions by the management, directors or controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation

summarized below, may have anti-takeover effects. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, lessen our vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the
ability of our board of directors to maximize shareholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire our company. However, these anti-takeover provisions could also
discourage, delay or prevent (1)&nbsp;the merger or acquisition of our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise that a shareholder may consider in its best interest and

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Our Dividend Policy  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our dividend policy reflects a basic judgment that our shareholders will be better served by our distributing our Cash Available for
Distribution rather than retaining it. We believe that we will generally finance any capital expenditures relating to vessel acquisitions from external financing sources rather than cash flows from
operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have adopted a dividend policy to pay a variable quarterly dividend equal to our Cash Available for Distribution during the previous quarter, subject to any reserves our board of
directors may from time to time determine are required. Dividends will be paid equally on a per-share basis between our Common Stock and our Class&nbsp;B Stock. Cash Available for
Distribution represents our net income less cash expenditures for capital items related to our fleet, such as drydocking or special surveys, other than vessel acquisitions and related expenses, plus
non-cash compensation. For purposes of calculating Cash Available for Distribution, we may disregard non-cash adjustments to our net income, such as those that would result
from acquiring a vessel subject to a charter that was above or below market rates. We intend to pay dividends on a quarterly basis. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
following table illustrates the calculation of Cash Available for Distribution (non-cash adjustments we may disregard are not included): </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a Marshall Islands corporation formed to own and employ drybulk vessels in the spot market, including spot market-related time
charters. We employ a chartering strategy intended to maximize cash flow from our vessels through trading in the spot market, on spot market-related time charters known as trip charters, or in vessel
pools trading in the spot market. We anticipate opportunities to grow our fleet through acquisitions of existing vessels from other parties as well as newbuildings. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that the following table reflects important measures for analyzing trends in our results of operations. The table reflects
our ownership days, available days, operating days, fleet utilization, TCE rates and daily vessel operating expenses for the three and six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2010. </FONT></P>

its vessels and minimizing the number of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys or vessel
positioning.

expenses) divided by the number of our available days during the period, which is consistent with industry standards. TCE rate is a common shipping industry performance measure used primarily to
compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage charters, because charterhire rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not
expressed in per-day amounts while charterhire rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in such amounts. </FONT></DD></DL>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Lack of Historical Operating Data for Vessels before Their Acquisition  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Consistent with shipping industry practice, we have not been able to obtain the historical operating data for the four Supramax vessels
we have purchased and two of the Handysize vessels we will purchase from the sellers, in part because that information is not material to our decision to acquire such vessels. These six vessels have
been sold under a standardized agreement, which, among other things, provides us with the right to inspect the vessel and the vessel's classification society records. The standard agreement does not
give us the right to inspect, or receive copies of, the historical operating data of the vessel. Accordingly, such information was not available to us. Prior to the delivery of a purchased vessel, the
seller typically removes from the vessel all records, including past financial records and accounts related to the vessel. In addition, the technical management agreement between the seller's
technical manager and the seller is automatically terminated and the vessel's trading certificates are revoked by its flag state following a change in ownership. The two Capesize and one Handysize
vessel that we have purchased or agreed to purchase are newbuildings and therefore have no historical operating data. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, and consistent with shipping industry practice, we will treat the acquisition of vessels from unaffiliated third parties as the acquisition of an asset rather than a
business. The three Handymax vessels that we have agreed to purchase from companies within the Metrostar group of companies are secured on spot market-related time charters with Cargill
International&nbsp;S.A. at a rate based on 115% of the average of the daily rates of the Baltic Handysize Index ("BHSI"), an index published by the Baltic Exchange. Consistent with shipping industry
practice, if we wish to take delivery of these vessels with the associated time charter agreements, such delivery is subject to the charterer's consent and we will be required to enter into a separate
direct agreement with the charterer to assume the time charter. The purchase of a vessel itself does not generally transfer the charter, because it is a separate service agreement between the vessel
owner and the charterer. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When
we purchase a vessel and assume or renegotiate a related charter, we must take the following steps before the vessel will be ready to commence operations: </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Voyage Revenues  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voyage revenues are driven primarily by the number of vessels that we will have in our fleet, the number of calendar days during which
our vessels will generate revenues and the amount of daily charter hire that our vessels will earn under charters. These, in turn, are affected by a number of factors, including our decisions relating
to vessel acquisitions and disposals, the amount
of time that we will spend positioning our vessels, the amount of time that our vessels will spend in drydock undergoing repairs, maintenance and upgrade work, the age, condition and specifications of
our vessels, levels of supply and demand in the drybulk carrier market and other factors affecting spot market charter rates for our vessels. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vessels
operating in the spot charter market generate revenues that are less predictable than those operating on time charters but may enable us to capture increased profit margins
during periods of improvements in charter rates. Conversely, by operating in the spot charter market, we will be exposed to the risk of declining charter rates, which may have a materially adverse
impact on our financial performance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
the three and six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2010 voyage revenues were $6,990,763. These voyage revenues consisted primarily of revenue earned on spot market-related time charters.
For the three and six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2010, we had ownership days of 274.8 and fleet utilization was 99.0%. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
freight environment displayed seasonal weakness through the second quarter of 2010 with the Baltic Dry Index trading from a high of 4,209 to a low of 1,700 points. The index has
moderately rebounded from previous lows and stands at 1,977 as of August&nbsp;2, 2010. The recent weakness has mainly been attributable to lower demand for iron ore cargoes stemming from a seasonal
slowdown in Chinese iron ore imports as well as the wind down of the South American grain season. A shift towards a quarterly iron ore pricing system and reduced port congestion were also factors
adding downward pressure to freight rates. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Voyage Expenses  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To the extent we operate our vessels on voyage charters in the spot market, we will be responsible for all voyage expenses. Voyage
expenses are all expenses unique to a particular voyage, including any bunker fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions. We expect that
our voyage expenses will vary depending on the number of vessels in our fleet and the extent to which we enter into voyage charters in the spot market as opposed to spot market-related time charters,
trip charters or vessel pools, in which we would not be responsible for voyage expenses. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voyage
expenses for the three and six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2010 were $150,424 and consisted primarily of commercial service fees due to Genco pursuant to the Management
Agreement. The commercial service fee represents 1.25% of gross charter revenue earned by each of the Company's vessels. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Time Charter Equivalent (TCE)  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A standard maritime industry performance measure is the daily time charter equivalent, or daily TCE. Daily TCE revenues are voyage
revenues minus voyage expenses divided by the number of available days during the relevant time period. Voyage expenses primarily consist of port, canal and fuel costs that are unique to a particular
voyage, which would otherwise be paid by a charterer under a time charter, as well as commissions. We believe that the daily TCE neutralizes the variability created by unique costs associated with
particular voyages or the employment of vessels on time charter or on the spot market and presents a more accurate representation of the revenues generated by our vessels. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
average daily TCE rate of our fleet for the three and six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2010 was $25,657 per day. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Vessel Operating Expenses  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our vessel operating expenses will include crew wages and related costs, the cost of insurance, expenses relating to repairs and
maintenance (excluding drydocking), the costs of spares and consumable stores, tonnage taxes and other miscellaneous expenses. We anticipate that our vessel operating expenses, which generally
represent fixed costs, will increase as we add vessels to our fleet. Other factors beyond our control, some of which may affect the shipping industry in general, including, for instance, developments
relating to market prices for insurance and crew wages, may also cause these expenses to increase. </FONT></P>

June&nbsp;30, 2010. We believe
daily vessel operating expenses are best measured for comparative purposes over a 12-month period in order to take into account all of the expenses that each vessel in our fleet will incur
over a full year of operation. For the second quarter of 2010, we budgeted daily vessel operating expenses at a weighted average rate of $5,350 per vessel per day. Our actual daily vessel operating
expenses per vessel for the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2010 have been $527 below the budgeted rate. We expect DVOE for the second half of 2010 to be $5,100 per vessel per day. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the three and six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2010, depreciation and amortization charges were $1,239,502 and $1,239,545,

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the three and six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2010, general, administrative and management fees were $1,625,687 and $2,109,548,
respectively. These expenses consisted primarily of non-cash compensation, insurance, legal fees, auditing fees and technical service fees payable to Genco pursuant to our Management
Agreement. With respect to the restricted shares issued as incentive compensation to our Chairman, our President and Chief Financial Officer and our directors under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan,

received from the seller of the Baltic Cougar as a result of the late delivery of the vessel. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Liquidity and Capital Resources  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our primary initial sources of capital were the capital contribution made by Genco, through Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC, of
$75&nbsp;million for 5,699,088 shares of our Class&nbsp;B stock and the net proceeds from the IPO, which was approximately $210.4&nbsp;million as described hereunder. We will require capital to
fund ongoing operations, acquisitions and potential debt service, for which we expect the main sources to be cash flow from operations and equity offerings. We plan to finance potential future
expansions of our fleet primarily through use of our 2010 Credit Facility as a bridge to equity financing, which we expect will mainly consist of issuances of additional shares of our common stock,
and internally generated cash flow. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
April&nbsp;16, 2010, we entered into a $100&nbsp;million senior secured revolving credit facility with Nordea Bank Finland&nbsp;plc, acting through its New York branch, for a
$100&nbsp;million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "2010 Credit Facility"). The 2010 Credit Facility matures on April&nbsp;16, 2014. See Note&nbsp;7&#151;Debt in our
condensed financial statements, for a full description of out 2010 Credit Facility. A commitment fee of 1.25% per annum is payable on the unused daily portion of the 2010 Credit Facility which began
accruing on March&nbsp;18, 2010 under the terms of the commitment letter entered into on February&nbsp;25, 2010. In connection with the commitment letter, we paid an upfront fee of $312,500.
Additionally upon executing the 2010 Credit Facility, we paid the remaining upfront fee of $937,500, for total upfront fees of $1,250,000. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Borrowings
under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25% per annum. A commitment fee of 1.25% per annum is payable on the unused daily portion of the 2010
Credit Facility, which began accruing on March&nbsp;18, 2010. We intend to use the 2010 Credit Facility primarily for bridge financing for future vessel acquisitions. In addition, borrowings of up
to $25&nbsp;million under the 2010 Credit Facility will be available for working capital purposes. At June&nbsp;30, 2010, we have borrowed $9.975&nbsp;million </FONT></P>

the total $25&nbsp;million available for working capital. Borrowings, except those for working capital purposes, are to be repaid with proceeds from follow-on equity offerings or
otherwise within twelve months from drawdown. Borrowings not repaid within such twelve months will be converted into term loans and repaid in equal monthly installments over the subsequent
twelve-month period. All amounts outstanding, including borrowings for working capital, must be repaid in full on the 2010 Credit Facility's maturity date. We do not anticipate that borrowings under

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
2010 Credit Facility requires us to comply with a number of covenants, including financial covenants related to liquidity, consolidated net worth, and collateral maintenance;
delivery of quarterly and annual financial statements and annual projections; maintaining adequate insurances; compliance with laws (including environmental); compliance with ERISA; maintenance of
flag and class of the
initial vessels; restrictions on consolidations, mergers or sales of assets; restrictions on changes in the Manager of our initial vessels (or acceptable replacement vessels); limitations on changes

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have adopted a dividend policy to pay a variable quarterly dividend equal to our Cash Available for Distribution during the previous
quarter, subject to any reserves our Board of Directors may from time to time determine are required. Dividends will be paid equally on a per-share basis between our common stock and our
Class&nbsp;B stock. Cash Available for Distribution represents our net income less cash expenditures for capital items related to our fleet, such as drydocking or special surveys, other than vessel
acquisitions and related expenses, plus non-cash compensation. For purposes of calculating Cash Available for Distribution, we may disregard non-cash adjustments to our net

the operation of our initial fleet in addition to $1.1&nbsp;million of amortization of non-vested stock compensation expense. There was also a $1.7&nbsp;million payable due to the
Company's parent, Genco Shipping&nbsp;&amp; Trading Limited, related to sale and purchase fees pursuant to the Management Agreement. Net cash provided by operating activities was offset by
$1.5&nbsp;million in prepaid and other current assets. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table sets forth our contractual obligations and their maturity dates as of June&nbsp;30, 2010. The table incorporates
the agreement to acquire one Capesize vessel for an aggregate remaining purchase price of $57.0&nbsp;million as well as the agreement to acquire three Handysize vessels for an aggregate remaining
purchase price of $89.8&nbsp;million. We funded the acquisition of one of the Handysize vessels by borrowing $29.9&nbsp;million from our 2010 Credit Facility and we plan to fund the remaining
vessel acquisitions by utilizing the 2010 Credit Facility as a bridge for equity financing. The interest and fees include the unused fees and interest expense related to the 2010 Credit Facility, as
well as other fees associated with the 2010 Credit Facility. Additionally, the table incorporates sale and purchase fees payable to Genco pursuant to the Management Agreement which is equivalent to 1%
of the gross purchase or sale price of any vessel acquisitions or disposals due upon the consummation of any purchase or sale of one of our vessels. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on
our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inflation has only a moderate effect on our expenses given current economic conditions. In the event that significant global
inflationary pressures appear, these pressures would increase our operating, voyage, general and administrative, and financing costs. However, costs may increase based on the anticipated increased
cost for repairs, maintenance and lubricants. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Critical Accounting Policies  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments or uncertainties, and potentially result in materially
different results under different assumptions and conditions. We have described below our most critical accounting policies that involve a high degree of judgment and the methods of their application. </FONT></P>

we conform to Genco's
accounting principles in our financial statements. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vessel acquisitions.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When we enter into an acquisition transaction, we determine whether the acquisition transaction was the
purchase of an asset or
a business based on the facts and circumstances of the transaction. As is customary in the shipping industry, the purchase of a vessel is normally treated as a purchase of an asset as the historical
operating data for the vessel is not reviewed nor is material to our decision to make such acquisition. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
a vessel is acquired with an existing time charter, we allocate the purchase price of the vessel and the time charter based on, among other things, vessel market valuations and the
present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the acquired charters) of the difference between (i)&nbsp;the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the charter
terms and (ii)&nbsp;management's estimate of the fair market charter rate, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the charter. The capitalized above-market (assets) and below-market
(liabilities) charters are amortized as a reduction or increase, respectively, to voyage revenues over the remaining term of the charter. </FONT></P>

charters. We generally
record charter revenues over the term of the charter as service is provided. In spot charters, operating costs including crews, maintenance and insurance, fuel, and port charges are typically paid by
the owner of the vessel. There are certain other non-specified voyage expenses which are borne by us. We recognize voyage expenses and vessel operating expenses when incurred. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
revenue is based on contracted charterparties. However, there is always the possibility of dispute over terms and payment of hires and freights. In particular, disagreements may
arise as to the responsibility of lost time and revenue due to us as a result. Accordingly, we periodically assess the recoverability of amounts outstanding and estimate a provision if there is a
possibility of non-recoverability. </FONT></P>

depreciation. We depreciate our drybulk vessels on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, expected to be approximately 25&nbsp;years from the date of
initial delivery from the shipyard. Depreciation is based on cost less the estimated residual scrap value. Based on the current market and the types of vessels we have purchased, we expect the
residual values of our vessels will be based upon a value of approximately $175 per lightweight ton. An increase in the useful life of a drybulk vessel or in its residual value would have the effect
of decreasing the annual depreciation charge and extending it into later periods. A decrease in the useful life of a drybulk vessel or in its residual value would have the effect of increasing the
annual depreciation charge. However, when regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, we will adjust the vessel's useful life to end at the date such

major repairs and

straight-line basis over the period between drydockings. Deferred drydocking costs include actual costs incurred at the drydock yard; cost of travel, lodging and subsistence of our
personnel sent to the drydocking site to supervise; and the cost of hiring a third party to oversee the drydocking. </FONT></P>

long-lived assets, we perform an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows of the related long-lived assets. If the carrying value of the related asset
exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value is reduced to its fair value. Various factors including anticipated future charter rates, estimated scrap values, future drydocking costs and
estimated vessel operating costs, are included in this analysis. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The international shipping industry is a capital intensive industry, requiring significant amounts of investment. Effective
April&nbsp;16, 2010, we entered into the 2010 Credit Facility that will provide us with bridge financing for potential vessel acquisitions. Our interest expense under any such credit facility will
be affected by changes in LIBOR rates as outstanding debt on the 2010 Credit Facility is based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25% per annum. Increasing interest rates could adversely impact
our future earnings. A 1% increase in LIBOR would result in an increase of $6,096 in interest expense for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2010. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Overview  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a Marshall Islands corporation formed in October 2009 by Genco (NYSE: GNK). Our business is to own drybulk vessels, and we
employ a chartering strategy intended to maximize cash flow from our vessels through trading in the spot market, on spot market-related time charters known as trip charters, or in vessel pools trading
in the spot market. We expect to benefit from Genco's expertise, relationships and reputation as we operate our fleet and pursue accretive growth opportunities. We intend to distribute to our
shareholders on a quarterly basis all of our Cash Available for Distribution. Our primary objective is to increase our dividends on a per-share basis. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
March&nbsp;15, 2010 we completed our IPO of 16,300,000 shares of Common Stock at $14.00 per share, raising gross proceeds of $228.2&nbsp;million before deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. With the net proceeds of our IPO, together with a $75&nbsp;million capital contribution from Genco, we entered into agreements to acquire
our initial fleet of six vessels, consisting of four Supramax vessels and two Capesize vessels. Five of these vessels have been delivered, and the remaining vessel is expected to be delivered in
October 2010. In June 2010, we entered into agreements to acquire three Handysize drybulk vessels from affiliates of Metrostar for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $99.8&nbsp;million.
These vessels are expected to be delivered between July 2010 and October 2010. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
intend to grow our fleet through acquisitions of existing vessels from other parties as well as newbuildings. We believe that the recent economic downturn has resulted in cyclically
low valuation levels for drybulk vessels and that, as a result, there will be opportunities to acquire vessels that will provide attractive returns to investors. Our intention is to seek growth
opportunities that will provide accretive earnings and cash flow and that can be financed on acceptable terms. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
operations are managed, under the supervision of our executive officers and board of directors, by Genco, our Manager. Since its inception, our Manager has established a strong
reputation with major international charterers, shipbuilders and financial institutions that we believe will enhance our ability to create value for shareholders. Our Manager has built its own fleet
from 16 drybulk vessels to 37 drybulk vessels today, with an additional 16 drybulk vessels to be delivered under recent acquisition agreements, while maintaining one of the lowest cost structures in
the industry. Upon the closing of our IPO, we entered into the Management Agreement pursuant to which our Manager and its affiliates provide to us commercial, technical, administrative and strategic
services. We pay our Manager management fees for these services and reimburse our Manager for its direct and indirect expenses in providing these services as well as the pro rata portion of the salary
and other costs incurred by our Manager in employing and compensating an internal auditor who is made available to us on a part time basis. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of the date of this prospectus, Genco, directly or indirectly, owns all of our outstanding shares of Class&nbsp;B Stock, which represents 81.65% of the aggregate voting power of our
Common Stock and
Class&nbsp;B Stock. After the consummation of this offering, Genco, directly or indirectly, will own shares of Class&nbsp;B Stock representing&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of the voting power of our
outstanding capital stock, or&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;% of such aggregate if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February&nbsp;19, 2010, we entered into agreements with subsidiaries of an unaffiliated third-party seller under which we agreed
to purchase four 2009-built Supramax drybulk vessels for an aggregate price of approximately $140.0&nbsp;million. One of the vessels under these agreements is currently employed under a
short term time charter with a maximum expiration date of August 2010 at a rate of $19,750 per day minus a 3.75% third-party commission. We have taken delivery of this vessel with the associated time
charter contract. On February&nbsp;22, 2010, we also entered into agreements with subsidiaries of another unaffiliated </FONT></P>

believe that by focusing on the drybulk spot market and seeking to pay quarterly dividends, we provide equity investors with the opportunity to gain exposure to the trends of the drybulk shipping
industry, and are attractive to investors. We believe that by relying
primarily on equity financing, we are in a better position to withstand the volatility of the spot market and will have more cash available to pay dividends than if we relied primarily on debt

market.</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;We seek to provide shareholders with the opportunity to invest in a company with a strategic focus on the drybulk spot market by
deploying our vessels on voyage or time charters or in vessel pools that are related to the spot market. Please see "Business&#151;Our Charters" for a description of the kinds of charters we
plan to enter into. The spot market is volatile and holds the potential for significant increases or decreases in shipping rates over time. Upward movements in spot rates have the potential to
increase our revenues, and we will have opportunities to take advantage of these upswings by not locking our vessels into long-term, fixed-rate time charters. Conversely, our
revenues may decline if the spot market does, and we will not benefit from the stabilizing effect of fixed-rate time charters. The spot market may be affected by whether the global economy
declines or recovers, particularly with respect to economies outside the United States such as China and India, which have been the primary drivers of drybulk trade in recent years. Further, while
economic health is one factor influencing demand, supply of drybulk vessels is also an important factor affecting spot market rates. An undersupply of drybulk vessels could lead to higher spot market
rates despite weak economic conditions, while an oversupply of drybulk vessels could lead to lower spot market rates despite strong economic conditions. Because we generate virtually all of our
revenues in U.S. Dollars, the current weakness of the U.S. Dollar does not affect our revenues; however, as we may incur certain costs in other currencies, the weakness of the U.S. Dollar could affect
our business if these costs are significant.  </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2>

Under a
typical voyage charter in the spot market, the shipowner is paid on the basis of moving cargo from a loading port to a discharge port. The shipowner is responsible for paying both vessel operating
costs and voyage expenses, and the charterer is responsible for any delay at the loading or discharging ports. Voyage expenses are all expenses unique to a particular voyage, including any bunker fuel
expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency
fees and commissions. Vessel operating expenses include crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, lube oils, bunkers and communication expenses. </FONT></P>

maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel. Members of the pool share in the revenue generated by the entire group of vessels in the pool. When the vessel is

authorizations with respect to our vessels. The kinds of permits, licenses, certificates and other authorizations required for each vessel depend upon several factors, including the commodity
transported, the waters in which the vessel operates, the nationality of the vessel's crew and the age of the vessel. We believe we have all material permits, licenses, certificates and other
authorizations necessary for the conduct of our operations. However, additional laws and regulations, environmental or otherwise, may be adopted which could limit our ability to do business or

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The operation of any drybulk vessel includes risks such as mechanical failure, collision, property loss, cargo loss or damage and
business interruption due to political circumstances in foreign countries, piracy, hostilities and labor strikes. In addition, there is always an inherent possibility of marine disaster, including oil
spills and other environmental mishaps, and the liabilities arising from owning and operating vessels in international trade. The U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or OPA, which imposes virtually
unlimited liability upon owners, operators and demise charterers of vessels trading in the U.S.-exclusive economic zone for certain oil pollution accidents in the United States, has made liability
insurance more expensive for ship owners and operators trading in the U.S. market. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Protection and indemnity insurance is provided by mutual protection and indemnity associations, or P&amp;I Associations, which insure our
third-party liabilities in connection with our shipping activities. This includes third-party liability and other related expenses resulting from the injury or death of crew, passengers and other
third parties, the loss or damage to cargo, claims arising from collisions with other vessels, damage to other third-party property, pollution arising from oil or other substances and salvage, towing
and other related costs, including wreck removal. Protection and indemnity insurance is a form of mutual indemnity insurance, extended by protection and indemnity mutual associations, or "clubs."

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Government regulations significantly affect the ownership and operation of our vessels. We are subject to international conventions and
treaties, and, in the countries in which our vessels may operate or are registered, national, state and local laws and regulations in force in the countries in which our vessels may operate or are
registered relating to safety and health and environmental protection, including the storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of hazardous and non-hazardous materials, and
the remediation of contamination and liability for damage to natural resources. Compliance with such laws, regulations and other requirements entails significant expense, including vessel
modifications and implementation of certain operating procedures. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
variety of governmental and private entities subject our vessels to both scheduled and unscheduled inspections. These entities include the local port authorities (applicable national
authorities such as the U.S. Coast Guard and harbor masters), classification societies, flag state administrations (countries of registry) and charterers. Some of these entities require us to obtain
permits, licenses, certificates, financial assurances and other authorizations for the operation of our vessels. Our failure to maintain necessary permits, certificates or approvals could require us
to incur substantial costs or result in the temporary suspension of operation of one or more of our vessels. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
recent periods, heightened levels of environmental and operational safety concerns among insurance underwriters, regulators and charterers have led to greater inspection and safety
requirements on all vessels and may accelerate the scrapping of older vessels throughout the drybulk shipping industry. Increasing environmental concerns have created a demand for vessels that conform
to the stricter environmental standards. We believe that the operation of our vessels is in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and that our vessels have all
material permits, licenses, certificates or other authorizations necessary for the conduct of our operations. However, because such laws and regulations are frequently changed and may impose
increasingly stricter requirements, we cannot predict the ultimate cost of complying with these requirements, or the impact of these requirements on the resale value or useful lives of our vessels. In
addition, a future serious marine incident that results in significant oil pollution or otherwise causes significant adverse environmental impact could result in additional legislation or regulation
that could negatively affect our profitability. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Air Emissions  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In September 1997, the IMO adopted Annex&nbsp;VI to the MARPOL Convention to address air pollution from ships. Effective May 2005,
Annex&nbsp;VI sets limits on sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from all commercial vessel exhausts and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone depleting substances (such as halons and
chlorofluorocarbons), emissions of volatile organic compounds from cargo tanks, and the shipboard incineration of specific substances. Annex&nbsp;VI also includes a global cap on the sulfur content
of fuel oil and allows for special areas to be established with more stringent controls on sulfur emissions. In October 2008, the IMO adopted amendments to Annex&nbsp;VI regarding emissions of
sulfur oxide, nitrogen oxide, particulate matter and ozone- depleting substances, which amendments enter into force on July&nbsp;1, 2010. The amended Annex&nbsp;VI will reduce air pollution from
vessels by, among other things, (i)&nbsp;implementing a progressive reduction of sulfur oxide,
emissions from ships by reducing the global sulfur fuel cap reduced initially to 3.50% (from the current cap of 4.50%), effective from January&nbsp;1, 2012, then progressively to 0.50%, effective
from January&nbsp;1, 2020, subject to a feasibility review to be completed no later than 2018; and (ii)&nbsp;establishing new tiers of stringent nitrogen oxide emissions standards for new marine
engines, depending on their date of installation. The United States ratified the Annex&nbsp;VI amendments in October 2008, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, promulgated
equivalent emissions standards in late 2009. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Maritime Equity Protection Committee, a committee of the IMO, has designated the area extending 200 miles from the territorial sea baseline adjacent to the Atlantic/Gulf and Pacific
coasts and the eight main Hawaiian Islands as an ECA under the MARPOL Annex&nbsp;VI amendments. The new ECA will enter into force in August 2012, whereupon fuel used by all vessels operating in the
ECA cannot exceed 1.0% sulfur, dropping to 0.1% sulfur in 2015. From 2016, NOx after-treatment requirements will also apply. If other ECAs are approved by the IMO or other new or more stringent
requirements relating to emissions from marine diesel engines or port operations by vessels are adopted by the EPA or the states where we operate, compliance with these regulations could entail
significant capital expenditures or otherwise increase the costs of our operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Safety Management System Requirements  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The IMO also adopted the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, or SOLAS and the International Convention on Load
Lines, or the LL Convention, which impose a variety of standards that regulate the design and operational features of ships. The IMO periodically revises the SOLAS Convention and LL Convention
standards. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
Chapter&nbsp;IX of SOLAS, the International Safety Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention, or ISM Code, our operations are also subject to
environmental standards and requirements contained in the ISM Code promulgated by the IMO. The ISM Code requires the party with operational control of a vessel to develop an extensive safety
management system that includes, among other things, the adoption of a safety and environmental protection policy setting forth instructions and procedures for operating its vessels safely and
describing procedures for responding to emergencies. We will rely upon the safety management system that we and our technical manager will implement for compliance with the ISM Code. The failure of a
ship owner or bareboat charterer to comply with the ISM Code may subject such party to increased liability, may decrease available insurance coverage for the affected vessels and may result in a
denial of access to, or detention in, certain ports. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
ISM Code requires that vessel operators also obtain a safety management certificate for each vessel they operate. This certificate evidences compliance by a vessel's management with
code requirements for a safety management system. No vessel can obtain a certificate unless its manager has been awarded a document of compliance, issued by each flag state, under the ISM Code. We
believe that we will have all material requisite documents of compliance for our offices and safety management </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Pollution Control and Liability Requirements  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;IMO has negotiated international conventions that impose liability for pollution in international waters and the territorial waters of
the nations signatory to such conventions. For example, IMO adopted an International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, or the BWM Convention, in February
2004. The BWM Convention's implementing regulations call for a phased introduction of mandatory ballast water exchange requirements (beginning in 2009), to be replaced in time with mandatory
concentration limits. The BWM Convention will not become effective until 12&nbsp;months after it has been adopted by 30 states, the combined merchant fleets of which represent not less than 35% of
the gross tonnage of the world's merchant shipping. To date, there has not been sufficient adoption of this standard for it to take force. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
IMO adopted the International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, or the Bunker Convention, to impose strict liability on ship owners for pollution damage
in jurisdictional waters of ratifying states caused by discharges of bunker fuel. The Bunker Convention, which became effective on November&nbsp;21, 2008, requires registered owners of ships over
1,000 gross tons to maintain insurance for pollution damage in an amount equal to the limits of liability under the applicable national or international limitation regime (but not exceeding the amount
calculated in accordance with the Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims of 1976, as amended). With respect to non-ratifying states, liability for spills or releases of oil carried
as fuel in ship's bunkers typically is determined by the national or other domestic laws in the jurisdiction where the events or damages occur. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Noncompliance
with the ISM Code or other IMO regulations may subject the vessel owner or bareboat charterer to increased liability, lead to decreases in available insurance coverage for
affected vessels or result in the denial of access to, or detention in, some ports. The U.S. Coast Guard and European Union authorities have indicated that vessels not in compliance with the ISM Code
by the applicable deadlines will be prohibited from trading in U.S. and European Union ports, respectively. We expect that each of our vessels will be ISM Code-certified, but there can be
no assurance that such certifications will be maintained in the future. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
IMO continues to review and introduce new regulations. It is impossible to predict what additional regulations, if any, may be passed by the IMO and what effect, if any, such
regulations might have on our operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> The U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The U.S. Oil Pollution Act of 1990, or OPA, established an extensive regulatory and liability regime for the protection and cleanup of
the environment from oil spills. OPA affects all owners and operators whose vessels trade in the United States, its territories and possessions or whose vessels operate in United States waters, which
includes the United States' territorial sea and its two hundred nautical mile exclusive economic zone. The United States has also enacted the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and
Liability Act, or CERCLA, which applies to the discharge of hazardous substances other than oil, whether on land or at sea. Both OPA and CERCLA impact our operations. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective
July&nbsp;31, 2009, the U.S. Coast Guard adjusted the limits of OPA liability for non-tank vessels to the greater of $1,000 per gross ton or $854,400 (subject to
possible adjustment for inflation). CERCLA, which applies to owners and operators of vessels, contains a similar liability regime and provides for cleanup, removal and natural resource damages.
Liability under CERCLA is limited to the greater of $300 per gross ton or $5&nbsp;million for vessels carrying a hazardous substance as cargo and the greater of $300 per gross ton or
$0.5&nbsp;million for any other vessel. These OPA and CERCLA limits of liability do not apply if an incident was directly caused by violation of applicable U.S. federal safety, construction or
operating regulations or by a responsible party's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or if the responsible party fails or refuses to report the incident or to cooperate and assist in connection
with oil removal activities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OPA
and the U.S. Coast Guard also require owners and operators of vessels to establish and maintain with the U.S. Coast Guard evidence of financial responsibility sufficient to meet the
limit of their potential liability under OPA and CERCLA. Vessel owners and operators may satisfy their financial responsibility obligations by providing a proof of insurance, a surety bond,
self-insurance or a guaranty. We plan to comply with the U.S. Coast Guard's financial responsibility regulations by providing a certificate of responsibility evidencing sufficient
self-insurance. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that began in April 2010 may also result in additional regulatory initiatives or statutes, including the raising of liability caps under OPA, that may
affect our operations or require us to incur additional expenses to comply with such regulatory initiatives or statutes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
expect to maintain pollution liability coverage insurance in the amount of $1&nbsp;billion per incident for each of our vessels. If the damages from a catastrophic spill were to
exceed our insurance coverage, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
U.S. Clean Water Act, or CWA, prohibits the discharge of oil or hazardous substances in U.S. navigable waters unless authorized by a duly-issued permit or exemption, and
imposes strict liability in the form of penalties for any unauthorized discharges. The CWA also imposes substantial liability for the costs of removal, remediation and damages and complements the
remedies available under OPA and CERCLA. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
EPA regulates the discharge of ballast water and other substances in U.S. waters under the CWA. Effective February&nbsp;6, 2009, EPA regulations require vessels 79 feet in length
or longer (other than commercial fishing and recreational vessels) to comply with a Vessel General Permit authorizing ballast water discharges and other discharges incidental to the operation of
vessels. The Vessel General Permit imposes technology and water-quality based effluent limits for certain types of discharges and establishes specific inspection, monitoring, recordkeeping and
reporting requirements to ensure the effluent limits are met. U.S. Coast Guard regulations adopted under the U.S. National Invasive Species Act, or NISA, also impose mandatory ballast water management
practices for all vessels equipped with ballast water tanks entering or operating in U.S. waters, and in 2009 the Coast Guard proposed new ballast water management standards and practices, including
limits regarding ballast water releases. Compliance with the EPA and the U.S. Coast Guard regulations could require the installation of equipment on our vessels </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In October 2009, the European Union amended a directive to impose criminal sanctions for illicit ship-source discharges of
polluting substances, including minor discharges, if committed with intent, recklessly or with serious negligence and the discharges individually or in the aggregate result in deterioration of the
quality of water. Criminal liability for pollution may result in substantial penalties or fines and increased civil liability claims. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Greenhouse Gas Regulation  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In February 2005, the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, or UNFCCC, which we refer to as the
Kyoto Protocol, entered into force. Pursuant to the Kyoto Protocol, adopting countries are required to implement national programs
to reduce emissions of certain gases, generally referred to as greenhouse gases, which are suspected of contributing to global warming. Currently, the emissions of greenhouse gases from international
shipping are not subject to the Kyoto Protocol. However, international negotiations are continuing with respect to a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, which sets emission reduction targets through
2012, and restrictions on shipping emissions may be included in any new treaty. In December 2009, more than 27 nations, including the United States and China, signed the Copenhagen Accord, which
includes a non-binding commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union has indicated that it intends to propose an expansion of the existing European Union emissions
trading scheme to include emissions of greenhouse gases from vessels, if such emissions are not regulated through the IMO or the UNFCCC by December&nbsp;31, 2010. In the United States, the EPA has
issued a final finding that greenhouse gases threaten public health and safety and has promulgated regulations, expected to be finalized in March 2010, regulating the emission of greenhouse gases from
motor vehicles. The EPA may decide in the future to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from ships and has already been petitioned by the California Attorney General to regulate greenhouse gas emissions
from ocean-going vessels. Other federal and state regulations relating to the control of greenhouse gas emissions may follow, including the climate change initiatives that are being considered in the
U.S. Congress. In addition, the IMO is evaluating various mandatory measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping, including market-based instruments. Any passage of climate
control legislation or other regulatory initiatives by the EU, U.S., IMO or other countries where we operate that restrict emissions of greenhouse gases could require us to make significant financial
expenditures that we cannot predict with certainty at this time. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since the terrorist attacks of September&nbsp;11, 2001, there have been a variety of initiatives intended to enhance vessel security.
On November&nbsp;25, 2002, the U.S. Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002, or the MTSA, came into effect. To implement certain portions of the MTSA, in July 2003, the U.S. Coast Guard issued
regulations requiring the implementation of certain security requirements aboard vessels operating in waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Similarly, in December 2002, amendments
to SOLAS created a new chapter of the convention dealing specifically with maritime security. The new chapter became effective in July 2004 and imposes various detailed security obligations on vessels
and port authorities, most of which are contained in the newly created International Ship and Port Facilities Security Code, or the ISPS Code. The ISPS Code is designed to protect ports and
international shipping against terrorism. After July&nbsp;1, 2004, to trade internationally, a vessel must attain an </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Every oceangoing vessel must be "classed" by a classification society. The classification society certifies that the vessel is "in
class," signifying that the vessel has been built and maintained in accordance with the rules of the classification society and complies with applicable rules and regulations of the vessel's country
of registry and the international conventions of which that country is a member. In addition, where surveys are required by international conventions and corresponding laws and ordinances of a flag
state, the classification society will undertake them on application or by official order, acting on behalf of the authorities concerned. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
classification society also undertakes on request other surveys and checks that are required by regulations and requirements of the flag state. These surveys are subject to

shipowner has the option of arranging with the classification society for the vessel's hull or machinery to be on a continuous survey cycle, in which every part of the vessel would be surveyed within

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We operate our vessels in markets that have historically exhibited seasonal variations in demand and, as a result, charter rates.
However, this seasonality may result in quarter-to-quarter volatility in our operating results, as our vessels trade on the spot market. The drybulk sector is typically
stronger in the fall and winter months in anticipation of increased consumption of coal and raw materials in the northern hemisphere during the
winter months. As a result, our revenues could be weaker during the fiscal quarters ended June&nbsp;30 and September&nbsp;30, and conversely, our revenues could be stronger during the quarters

results of operations or liquidity. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, principally personal injury and property casualty claims.
We expect that these claims would be covered by insurance, subject to customary deductibles. Those claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and

operations are managed generally by our Manager. Upon the closing of our IPO, we entered into a Management Agreement, pursuant to which our Manager and its affiliates provide to us commercial,
technical, administrative and strategic services. Please read "Management and Management Agreements&#151;Management Agreement" for additional information about this agreement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
President and Chief Financial Officer, John C. Wobensmith, allocates his time between managing our business and affairs, directly as such officer and indirectly as an officer of our
Manager, and the business and affairs of Genco, for which he also serves as Chief Financial Officer. Based solely on the anticipated relative sizes of our fleet and Genco's fleet over the next twelve
months, we estimate that Mr.&nbsp;Wobensmith will spend approximately 15-20% of his monthly business time on our business activities and approximately 80-85% of such time on
Genco's. However, the amount of time Mr.&nbsp;Wobensmith will allocate among our business and the businesses of Genco could vary significantly from time to time depending on various circumstances
and needs of the businesses, such as the relative levels of strategic activities of the businesses. While there are no formal requirements or guidelines for the allocation of Mr.&nbsp;Wobensmith's
time between our business and Genco's, Mr.&nbsp;Wobensmith's performance of his duties is subject to the ongoing oversight of our board of directors. </FONT></P>

officers and individuals providing services to us and our current or future subsidiaries may face a conflict regarding the allocation of their time between our business and the other
business interests of Genco or its affiliates. We seek to cause our officers to devote as much time to the management of our business and affairs as is necessary for the proper conduct thereof. Our
amended and restated articles of incorporation and the Omnibus Agreement specify that Genco has a right of first refusal with respect to business opportunities generally, such as vessel purchase and
sale opportunities and most charter opportunities, but excluding certain spot charter opportunities as to which we have a right of first refusal. Our President and Chief Financial Officer and certain
of our directors also serve as executive officers or directors of Genco, who is our Manager, or its affiliates. As a result of the right of refusal provision, the obligation of these individuals to
provide opportunities to us will be limited. </FONT></P>

articles of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws, copies of which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms&nbsp;a part. </FONT></P>

activity for which corporations may now or hereafter be organized under the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act, or BCA. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide for Common Stock, which has one vote per share, and
Class&nbsp;B Stock, which has 15 votes per share. However, if holders of a majority of the Class&nbsp;B Stock make an irrevocable election to do so, the aggregate voting power of the
Class&nbsp;B Stock will be limited to a maximum of 49% of the voting power of our outstanding Common Stock and Class&nbsp;B Stock. Other than these voting rights and conversion rights applicable
to the Class&nbsp;B Stock as described below, the rights of the two classes of stock are identical. The rights of these classes of stock are discussed in greater detail below. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Generally, Marshall Islands law provides that the holders of a class of stock are entitled to a separate class vote on
any proposed amendment to our articles of incorporation that would change the aggregate number of authorized shares or the par value of that class of shares or alter or change the powers, preferences
or special rights of that class so as to affect it adversely. </FONT></P>

will be limited to a maximum of 49% of the voting power of our outstanding Common Stock and Class&nbsp;B Stock, voting together as a single class at the election of holders of a majority of the

insolvent by the payment of such a dividend or when the declaration or payment would be contrary to any restrictions contained in the company's articles of incorporation. Dividends may be declared and
paid out of surplus only, but if there is no surplus, dividends may be declared or paid out of the net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and for the preceding fiscal year. </FONT></P>

Common Stock, or rights to acquire Common Stock, as the case may be, and the holders of Class&nbsp;B Stock will receive Class&nbsp;B Stock, or rights to acquire Class&nbsp;B Stock, as the case

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote. There is no provision for
cumulative voting. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that our board of directors must consist of at least three members. Shareholders may change the number of directors only by the
affirmative vote of holders of 80% or more of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock. The board of directors may change the number of directors only by a majority vote of the
entire board. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under our amended and restated by-laws, annual general meetings will be held at a time and place selected
by our board of directors. The meetings may be held in or outside of the Marshall Islands. Under our amended and restated articles of incorporation, if we fail to hold an annual meeting within
90&nbsp;days of the designated date, a special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting may be called by shareholders holding not less than 10% of the voting power of all outstanding shares entitled to
vote at such meeting. Other than such a meeting in lieu of an annual meeting, special meetings of shareholders may be called only our board of directors as set forth in a resolution stating the
purpose or purposes thereof. Our board of directors may set a record date between 15 and 60&nbsp;days before the date of any meeting to determine the shareholders that will be eligible to receive
notice and vote at the meeting. </FONT></P>

consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and receive payment of the fair value of their shares. In the event of any further amendment of our articles of incorporation, a
shareholder also has the right to dissent and receive payment for the shareholder's shares if the amendment alters certain rights in respect of those shares. The dissenting shareholder must follow the
procedures set forth in the BCA to receive payment. In the event that we and any dissenting shareholder fail to agree on a price for the shares, the BCA procedures involve, among other things, the
institution of proceedings in any appropriate court in any jurisdiction in which our shares are primarily traded on a local or national securities exchange. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the BCA, any of our shareholders may bring an action in our name to procure a judgment in our favor, also known
as a derivative action, provided that the shareholder bringing the action is a holder of common stock both at the time the derivative action is commenced and at the time of the transaction to which
the action relates. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Limitations on Director Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The BCA authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their
shareholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors' fiduciary duties. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation include a provision that eliminates the personal liability of
directors for monetary damages for actions taken as a director to the fullest extent permitted by law. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws also provide that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted by law. We are also expressly authorized to advance certain expenses (including attorneys' fees and disbursements and court costs) to our directors and offices and to carry directors' and
officers' insurance providing indemnification for our directors and officers for some liabilities. We believe that these indemnification provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain
qualified directors and officers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws may discourage shareholders
from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and
officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of
settlement and damage awards against our directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
amended and restated articles of incorporation also give Genco a right of first refusal for business opportunities that may be attractive to both Genco and us. This provision has the
effect of limiting the obligations of our directors and officers who also serve as directors or officers of Genco or its other affiliates to provide these opportunities to us. If Genco or its
affiliates no longer beneficially own shares representing at least 10% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Class&nbsp;B Stock, and no person who is an officer or
director of us is also an officer or director of Genco or its other affiliates, then this business opportunity provision of our amended and restated articles of incorporation will terminate. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There
is currently no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is being sought. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Anti-Takeover Effect of Certain Provisions of Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Several provisions of our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws,
which are summarized below, may have anti-takeover effects. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, lessen our vulnerability to a hostile change of control and
enhance the ability of our board of directors to maximize shareholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire us. However, these anti-takeover provisions, which are
summarized below, could also discourage, delay or prevent (1)&nbsp;the merger or acquisition of us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise that a shareholder may consider in its
best interest and (2)&nbsp;the removal of incumbent officers and directors. </FONT></P>

of our Common Stock, which is the class of stock we are selling in this offering and which is the only class of stock which is publicly traded, have one vote per share. As of the date of this
prospectus, Genco controls all of our Class&nbsp;B Stock through a wholly-owned subsidiary. Because of our dual-class structure, Genco will be able to control all matters submitted to
our shareholders for approval even if it and its affiliates come to own significantly less than 50% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Class&nbsp;B Stock. This
concentrated

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the terms of our amended and restated articles of incorporation, our board of directors has authority, without
any further vote or action by our shareholders, to issue up to 100&nbsp;million shares of "blank check" preferred stock. Our board could authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or
conversion rights that could dilute the voting power or rights of the holders of Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and
other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us or the removal of our management and might harm the market price of
our Common Stock. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock and have agreed under the Omnibus Agreement not to issue any shares of preferred stock without Genco's prior written
consent. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our amended and restated articles of incorporation prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors. Our amended
and restated by-laws require parties other than the board of directors to give advance written notice of nominations for the election of directors. These provisions may discourage, delay
or prevent the removal of incumbent officers and directors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
amended and restated by-laws provide that shareholders are required to give us advance notice of any person they wish to propose for election as a director at an annual
general meeting if that person is not proposed by our board of directors. These advance notice provisions provide that the shareholder must have given written notice of such proposal not less than
150&nbsp;days nor more than 180&nbsp;days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual general meeting. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
shareholders may not call special meetings for the purpose of electing directors except in lieu of an annual meeting as discussed above or to replace a director being removed by the
shareholders. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that any director or our entire board of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote
of the holders of a 80% or more of the total voting power of our outstanding capital stock or by directors constituting at least two-thirds of the entire board of directors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our amended and restated by-laws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken by our
shareholders must be effected at an annual or special meeting of shareholders or by the unanimous written consent of our shareholders, provided that if the BCA in the future permits action to be taken
by less than unanimous written consent of our shareholders, the holders of voting power sufficient to take such specified action may do so by written consent so long as Genco and its affiliates (other
than us and our subsidiaries) beneficially own shares representing a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding capital stock. Our amended and restated by-laws provide that,
subject to certain limited exceptions, only our Chairman or President, at the direction of the board of directors, may call special meetings of our shareholders, and the business transacted at the
special meeting is limited to the purposes stated in the notice. Accordingly, a shareholder may be prevented from calling a special meeting for shareholder consideration of a proposal over the
opposition of our board of directors and shareholder consideration of a proposal may be delayed until the next annual general meeting. </FONT></P>

entitles the holder to purchase from us a unit consisting of one tenth of one share of the same class of stock in which such right is included at a purchase price of $100 per share, subject to
specified adjustments. The rights are issuable pursuant to a rights agreement between us and BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, as rights agent. Until a right is exercised, the holder of a right will
have no rights to vote, receive dividends or any other shareholder rights by virtue of its ownership of such right. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
rights may have anti-takeover effects. The rights may cause substantial dilution to any person or group that attempts to acquire us without the approval of our board of
directors. As a result, the overall effect of the rights may be to render more difficult or discourage any attempt to acquire us. Because our board of directors could approve a redemption of the
rights or a permitted offer, the rights should not interfere with a merger or other business combination approved by our board of directors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws
and by the BCA. The provisions of the BCA resemble provisions of the corporation laws of a number of states in the United States, including Delaware. While the BCA also provides that it is to be
interpreted according to the laws of the State of Delaware and other states with substantially similar legislative provisions, there have been few, if any, court cases interpreting the BCA in the
Marshall Islands, and we cannot predict whether Marshall Islands courts would reach the same conclusions as Delaware or other courts in the United States. Accordingly, you may have more difficulty in
protecting your interests under Marshall Islands law in the face of actions by our management, directors or controlling shareholders than would
shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction that has developed a substantial body of case law. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following is a discussion of the material Marshall Islands and U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to an investment
decision by a U.S. Holder or a Non-U.S. Holder, as defined below, with respect to the common stock. This discussion does not purport to deal with the tax consequences of owning our common
stock to all categories of investors, some of which (such as financial institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt organizations, insurance
companies, persons holding our common stock as part of a hedging, integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction or a straddle, traders in securities that have elected the
mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, persons liable for alternative minimum tax, pass-through entities or persons who are investors in
pass-through
entities, persons who own, actually or under applicable constructive ownership rules, 10% or more of our Common Stock, dealers in securities or currencies and investors whose functional currency is
not the U.S. Dollar) may be subject to special rules. This discussion deals only with holders who purchase common stock in connection with this offering and hold the common stock as a capital asset.
Moreover, this discussion is based on laws, regulations and other authorities in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. You are
encouraged to consult your own tax advisors concerning the overall tax consequences arising in your own particular situation under U.S. federal, state, local or foreign law of the ownership of our
common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> Marshall Islands Tax Considerations  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following are the material Marshall Islands tax consequences of our activities to us and, in the opinion of Reeder&nbsp;&amp; Simpson
P.C., subject to the qualifications and limitations in its opinion attached as Exhibit&nbsp;8.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms&nbsp;a part, to our shareholders of
investing in our common stock. We are incorporated in the Marshall Islands. Under current Marshall Islands law, we are not subject to tax on income or capital gains, and no Marshall Islands
withholding tax or income tax will be imposed upon payments of dividends by us to our shareholders or proceeds from the disposition of our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B> U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the opinion of Kramer Levin Naftalis and Frankel&nbsp;LLP, subject to the qualifications and limitations in its opinion attached
as Exhibit&nbsp;8.2 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms&nbsp;a part, the statements of law set forth below under the headings "U.S. Federal Income Taxation of U.S.
Holders," "U.S. Federal Income Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders," and "Backup Withholding and Information Reporting" are the material United States federal income tax consequences to U.S. and
Non-U.S. Holders with respect to the ownership and disposition of our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of our common stock that is, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i)&nbsp;an individual U.S.
citizen or resident, (ii)&nbsp;a U.S. corporation or other U.S. entity taxable as a corporation, (iii)&nbsp;an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of
its source, or (iv)&nbsp;a trust if either (x)&nbsp;a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have
the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (y)&nbsp;the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. If a
partnership, or an entity treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership, such as a limited liability company, holds common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend
on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner in such a partnership holding our common stock, you are encouraged to consult your tax advisor. A
beneficial
owner of our common stock (other than a partnership) that is not a U.S. Holder is referred to below as a "Non-U.S. Holder." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
have made special U.S. tax elections in respect of those of our shipowning or operating subsidiaries that are potentially subject to tax as a result of deriving income attributable to
the transportation of cargoes to or from the United States. The effect of the special U.S. tax elections is to ignore or disregard the subsidiaries for which elections have been made as separate
taxable entities from that of their parent, Baltic Trading Limited. Therefore, for purposes of the following discussion, Baltic Trading Limited, and not the subsidiaries subject to this special
election, will be treated as the owner and operator of the subsidiary vessels and as receiving the income from these vessels. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless exempt from U.S. federal income taxation, a foreign corporation is subject to U.S. federal income tax in respect of any income
that is derived from the use of vessels, from the hiring or leasing of vessels for use on a time, voyage or bareboat charter basis or from the performance of services directly related to those uses,
which we refer to as "shipping income," to the extent that the shipping income is derived from sources within the United States, which we refer to as "U.S. source shipping income." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
these purposes, 50% of shipping income that is attributable to transportation that begins or ends, but that does not both begin and end, in the United States constitutes U.S. source
shipping income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No
portion of shipping income attributable to transportation exclusively between non-U.S. ports will be considered to be U.S. source shipping income. Such shipping income
will not be subject to any U.S. federal income tax. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shipping
income attributable to transportation exclusively between U.S. ports will be considered to be 100% derived from U.S. sources. However, due to prohibitions under U.S. law, we do
not engage in transportation of cargo that produces 100% U.S. source shipping income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless
exempt from tax under Section&nbsp;883 of the Code (or "effectively connected" with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, as described below), our gross U.S. source shipping

of each category of shipping income we expect to earn in the future, which we refer to as an "Equivalent Exemption." Therefore, we will satisfy the Country of Organization Test and will be

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><B><I> Publicly Traded Test  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The regulations under Section&nbsp;883 provide, in pertinent part, that a corporation will meet the Publicly Traded Test if one or
more classes of stock of a foreign corporation representing, in the aggregate, more than 50% of the combined voting power and value of all classes of stock are "primarily and regularly traded on one
or more established securities markets in a qualified foreign country or in the United States. A class of stock will be considered to be "primarily traded" on an established securities market in a
country if the number of shares of such class of stock that are traded during any taxable year on all established securities markets in that country exceeds the number of shares of such stock that are
traded during that year on established securities markets in any other single country. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the regulations, a class of stock will be considered to be "regularly traded" on an established securities market if (1)&nbsp;such class of stock is listed on such market,
(2)&nbsp;such class of stock is traded on such market, other than in minimal quantities, on at least 60&nbsp;days during the taxable year or one sixth of the days in a short taxable year and
(3)&nbsp;the aggregate number of shares of such class of stock traded on such market during the taxable year is at least 10% of the average number of shares of such class of stock outstanding during
such year, or as appropriately adjusted in the case of a short taxable year. The regulations provide that the trading frequency and trading volume tests will be deemed satisfied if a class of stock is
regularly quoted by dealers making a market in such stock. Our Common Stock is currently traded on the NYSE. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding
the above, a class of stock will not be considered to be "regularly traded" on an established securities market for any taxable year in which 50% or more of the
outstanding shares of
such class of stock are owned, actually or constructively under specified stock attribution rules, on more than half the days during the taxable year by persons who each own 5% or more of the
outstanding shares of such class of stock, to which we refer as the "Five Percent Override Rule." </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
purposes of identifying the persons who actually or constructively own 5% or more of a class of stock, or "5% shareholders," the regulations permit a company to rely on
Schedule&nbsp;13G and Schedule&nbsp;13D filings with the SEC to identify its 5% shareholders. The regulations further provide that an investment company which is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, will not be treated as a 5% shareholder for these purposes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
the event the Five Percent Override Rule is triggered, the regulations provide that the Five Percent Override Rule will nevertheless not apply if the company can establish that there
are sufficient 5% shareholders that are considered to be "qualified shareholders" for purposes of Section&nbsp;883 to preclude non-qualified 5% shareholders from owning 50% or more of
the class of stock for more than half the number of days during the taxable year. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of the date of this prospectus, our Class&nbsp;B Stock, which is not primarily and regularly traded on an established securities market, represents more than 50% of the combined
voting power of all classes of stock, while our Common Stock represents more than 50% of the value of all classes of stock. Thus, at present, we do not believe we satisfy the Publicly Traded Test and
accordingly are not exempt from U.S. federal income tax on our U.S. source shipping income. </FONT></P>

a majority of the holders of the Class&nbsp;B Stock irrevocably elects to reduce the voting power of the Class&nbsp;B Stock to constitute not more than 49% of the total voting

subject to the Five Percent Override Rule described above, our Common Stock would be considered to be "regularly traded" on the NYSE. Therefore, if a majority of the holders of the Class&nbsp;B
Stock make such election, we believe that we would satisfy the Publicly Traded Test and thus qualify for the Section&nbsp;883 exemption and be exempt from U.S. federal income taxation on our U.S.

Section&nbsp;883 as described above. Therefore our gross U.S. source shipping income is subject to a 4% tax, without allowance for deductions, unless such income is effectively connected with the
conduct of a U.S. trade or business ("effectively connected income"), as described below. Since under the sourcing rules described above no more than 50% of our shipping income will be treated as
being U.S. source shipping income, the maximum effective rate of U.S. federal income tax on our non-effectively connected shipping income will never exceed 2%. We do not currently
anticipate that a significant portion of our shipping income will be U.S. source shipping income. In the event that the holder of the Class&nbsp;B Stock elects to reduce the voting power of the
Class&nbsp;B Stock, as described above, and we qualify for exemption under Section&nbsp;883, then we would no longer be subject to the 4% tax on our U.S. source shipping income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the discussion of PFICs below, any distributions made by us with respect to our common stock to a U.S. Holder will generally
constitute dividends to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of those earnings and profits
will be treated first as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder's tax basis in our common stock, and thereafter as capital gain. Because we are not a U.S. corporation, U.S.
Holders that are corporations will not be entitled to claim a dividends-received deduction with respect to any distributions they receive from us. Amounts taxable as dividends generally will be
treated as foreign source "passive income" for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dividends
paid on our common stock to a U.S. Holder who is an individual, trust or estate (a "U.S. Non-Corporate Holder") will generally be treated as "qualified dividend
income" that is
taxable to such U.S. Non-Corporate Holder at preferential tax rates through 2010, provided that (1)&nbsp;the common stock is readily tradable on an established securities market in the
United States (such as the NYSE, on which our common stock is traded); (2)&nbsp;we are not a PFIC for the taxable year during which the dividend is paid or the immediately preceding taxable year
(which, as discussed below, we do not believe will be the case); (3)&nbsp;the U.S. Non-Corporate Holder's holding period of the common stock includes more than 60&nbsp;days in the
121-day period beginning 60&nbsp;days before the date on which the common stock becomes ex-dividend; and (4)&nbsp;the U.S. Non-Corporate Holder is not under an
obligation to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. If we were to be a PFIC, as discussed below, for any year, dividends paid on our ordinary
shares in such year or in the following year would not be qualified dividends. The reduced tax rate for qualified dividends is scheduled to expire on December&nbsp;31, 2010, unless further extended
by the United States Congress. In addition, a non-corporate U.S. Holder will be able to take a qualified dividend into account in determining its deductible investment interest (which is
generally limited to its net investment income) only if it elects to do so; in such case the dividend will be taxed at ordinary income rates. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Special
rules may apply to any "extraordinary dividend"&#151;generally, a dividend in an amount which is equal to or in excess of 10% of a shareholder's adjusted basis (or fair
market value in certain circumstances) in a share of our common stock&#151;paid by us. If we pay an "extraordinary dividend" on our common stock that is treated as "qualified dividend income,"
then any loss derived by a U.S. Non-Corporate Holder from the sale or exchange of such common stock will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of such dividend. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject to the discussion of PFICs below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize taxable gain or loss upon a sale, exchange or other
taxable disposition of our common stock in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized by the U.S. Holder from such disposition and the U.S. Holder's tax basis in such stock. Such
gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period is greater than one year at the time of the disposition. Such capital gain or loss will
generally be treated as U.S. source income or loss, as applicable, for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Long-term capital gains of U.S. Non-Corporate Holders are eligible for
reduced rates of taxation. A U.S. Holder's ability to deduct capital losses is subject to certain limitations. </FONT></P>

Revenue Service's satisfaction that we will not be a PFIC in either of the two succeeding taxable years, and (iii)&nbsp;we are not, in fact, a PFIC for either succeeding taxable year. We will
attempt to conduct our affairs in a manner so that, if applicable, we will satisfy the start-up year exception, but we cannot assure you that we will so qualify. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC, we will be treated as earning and owning a proportionate share of the income and assets, respectively, of our subsidiaries that have
made special
U.S. tax elections to be disregarded as separate entities (as described above) as well as of any other corporate subsidiary in which we own at least 25% of the value of the subsidiary's stock. For
purposes of these tests, income derived from the performance of services does not constitute passive income. By contrast, rental income would generally constitute passive income unless we were treated
under specific rules as deriving our rental income in the active conduct of a trade or business. Based on our existing operations, we do not believe that we will be a PFIC with respect to any taxable
year. In this regard, we intend to treat our income from the spot charter of vessels as services income, rather than rental income. Accordingly, we believe that such income does not constitute passive
income, and that the assets that we own and operate in connection with the production of that income, primarily our vessels, do not constitute passive assets for purposes of determining whether we are
a PFIC. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While
there is no direct legal authority under the PFIC rules addressing our method of operation that characterizes time charter or voyage charter income as services income, there is
legal authority supporting this position consisting of case law and pronouncements by the United States Internal Revenue Service, which we sometimes refer to as the IRS, concerning the
characterization of income derived from time charters and voyage charters as services income for other tax purposes. However, it should also be noted that there is also authority which characterizes
time charter income as rental income rather than services income for other tax purposes. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court of law will accept our position, and there is a
risk that the IRS or a court of law could determine that we are a PFIC. Moreover, because there are uncertainties in the application of the PFIC rules, because the PFIC test is an annual test, and
because, although we intend to manage our business so as to avoid PFIC status to the extent consistent with our other business goals, there could be changes in the nature and extent of our operations
in future years, there can be no assurance that we will not become a PFIC in any taxable year. </FONT></P>

"qualified electing fund" ("QEF") election for all taxable years that the holder has held its shares of our common stock and we were a PFIC. Instead, each U.S. Holder who has made a timely QEF
election is required for each taxable year to include in income a pro rata share of our ordinary earnings as ordinary income and a pro rata share of our net capital gain as long-term
capital gain, regardless of whether we have made any distributions of the earnings or gain. The U.S. Holder's basis in our common stock will be increased to reflect taxed but undistributed earnings or
gain. Distributions of earnings and profits that had been previously taxed will result in a corresponding reduction in the basis of the common stock and will not be taxed again once distributed. A
U.S. Holder making a QEF election would generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock. If we determine that we are a PFIC for any taxable
year, we may provide each U.S. Holder with all necessary information in order to make the QEF election described above. </FONT></P>

as "marketable," a U.S. Holder may make
a mark-to-market election. Under a mark-to-market election, any excess of the fair market value of the common stock at the close of any taxable year
over the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the common stock is included in the U.S. Holder's income as ordinary income. In addition, the excess, if any, of the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis at
the close of any taxable year over the fair market value of the common stock is deductible in an amount equal to the lesser of the amount of the excess or the amount of the net
mark-to-market gains that the U.S. Holder included in income in prior years. A U.S. Holder's tax basis in its shares of our common stock would be adjusted to reflect any such
income or loss. Gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our common stock would be treated as ordinary income, and any loss realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of
shares of our common stock would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent that such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included by the U.S. Holder. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares of Common Stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions
and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Shorts sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering. "Covered"
short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares from us. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising
their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among
other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase additional shares pursuant to the option granted to them. "Naked" short
sales are any sales in excess of such option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if
the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Common Stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of Common Stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the
representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Purchases
to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a
decline in the market price of the company's Common Stock, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Common Stock. As a
result, the price of the Common Stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time. These
transactions may be effected on The New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following are definitions of certain terms that are commonly used in the shipping industry and in this prospectus. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Annual survey.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The inspection of a vessel pursuant to international conventions, by a classification society surveyor, on behalf of the
flag state,
that takes place every year. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ballast.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A voyage during which the vessel is not laden with cargo. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bareboat charter.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A bareboat charter involves the use of a vessel usually over longer periods of time ranging over several years. In
this case, all
voyage related costs, mainly vessel fuel and port dues, as well as all vessel-operating expenses, such as day-to-day operations, maintenance, crewing and insurance, are for the
charterer's account. The owner of the vessel receives monthly charter hire payments on a U.S. Dollar per day basis and is responsible only for the payment of capital costs related to the vessel. A
bareboat charter is also known as a "demise charter" or a "time charter by demise." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bunkers.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Heavy fuel and diesel oil used to power a vessel's engines. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capesize.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capesize vessels have carrying capacities of between 110,000 and 199,999 dwt. Only the largest ports around the world possess
the
infrastructure to accommodate vessels of this size. Capesize vessels are mainly used to transport iron ore or coal and, to a lesser extent, grains, primarily on long-haul routes. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Charter.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The hire of a vessel for a specified period of time or to carry a cargo from a loading port to a discharging port. The contract
for a
charter is commonly called a "charterparty". </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Charterer.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The party that hires a vessel for a period of time or for a voyage. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Charterhire.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A sum of money paid to the ship owner by a charterer for the use of a vessel. Charterhire paid under a voyage charter is
also known as
"freight." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Classification society.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;An independent society that certifies that a vessel has been built and maintained according to the society's
rules for that
type of vessel and complies with the applicable rules and regulations of the country of the vessel's registry and the international conventions of which that country is a member. A vessel that
receives its certification is referred to as being "in-class." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Contract of affreightment.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A contract of affreightment, or CoA, relates to the carriage of multiple cargoes over the same route and
enables the CoA
holder to nominate different vessels to perform the individual voyages. Essentially, it constitutes a series of voyage charters to carry a specified amount of cargo during the term of the CoA, which
usually spans a number of years. All of the ship's operating expenses, voyage expenses and capital costs are borne by the ship owner. Freight normally is agreed on a U.S.
Dollar-per-ton basis. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Drybulk carrier.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A vessel designed to carry bulk cargo, such as coal, iron ore and grain, that is loaded in bulk and not in bags,
packages or
containers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Drydocking.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The removal of a vessel from the water for inspection and repair of those parts of a vessel which are below the water line.
During
drydockings, which are required to be performed periodically, certain mandatory classification society inspections are carried out and relevant certifications are issued. Drydockings are generally
required once every 30&nbsp;months or twice every five years, one of which must be a special survey. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dwt.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deadweight ton, which is a unit of a vessel's capacity for cargo, fuel, oil, stores and crew measured in metric tons of 1,000
kilograms. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Freight.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A sum of money paid to the ship owner by the charterer under a voyage charter, usually calculated either per ton loaded or as
a
lump-sum amount. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross ton.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A unit of measurement for the total enclosed space within a vessel equal to 100 cubic feet or 2.831 cubic meters. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Handymax.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Handymax vessels have a carrying capacity of between 40,000 and 59,999 dwt. These vessels operate on a large number of
geographically
dispersed global trade routes, carrying primarily grains and minor bulks. Within the Handymax category there is also a sub-sector known as </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Supramax</I></B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. Supramax bulk carriers are ships between
50,000 to 59,999 dwt, normally offering cargo loading and unloading flexibility with
on-board cranes, while at the same time possessing the cargo carrying capability approaching conventional Panamax bulk carriers. Hence, the earnings
potential of a Supramax drybulk carrier, when compared to a conventional Handymax vessel of 45,000 dwt, is greater. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Handysize.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Handysize vessels have a carrying capacity of up to 39,999 dwt. These vessels are primarily involved in carrying minor bulk
cargoes.
Increasingly, ships of this type operate on regional trading routes, and may serve as trans-shipment feeders for larger vessels. Handysize vessels are well suited for small ports with length and draft
restrictions. Their cargo gear enables them to service ports lacking the infrastructure for cargo loading and unloading. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hull.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shell or body of a ship. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Intermediate survey.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The inspection of a vessel by a classification society surveyor that takes place 24 to 36&nbsp;months after each
special
survey. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Newbuilding.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A new vessel under construction or just completed. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Off-hire.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The period in which a vessel is unable to perform the services for which it is immediately required under a time charter.
Off-hire periods can include days spent on repairs, drydocking and surveys, whether or not scheduled. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Panamax.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Panamax vessels have a carrying capacity of between 60,000 and 79,999 dwt. These vessels carry coal, grains, and, to a lesser
extent, minor
bulks, including steel products, forest products and fertilizers. Panamax vessels are able to pass through the Panama Canal, making them more versatile than larger vessels. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Protection and indemnity insurance.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insurance obtained through a mutual association formed by ship owners to provide liability
indemnification
protection from various liabilities to which they are exposed in the course of their business, and which spreads the liability costs of each member by requiring contribution by all members in the
event of a loss. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Scrapping.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The sale of a vessel as scrap metal. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Spot charter.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Generally refers to a voyage charter or a trip charter (see separate definitions), which generally last from 10&nbsp;days
to three
months. Under both types of spot charters, the ship owner would pay for vessel operating expenses, which include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oil, insurance, maintenance
and repairs, and for commissions on gross revenues. The ship owner would also be responsible for each vessel's intermediate and special survey costs. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Spot market.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The market for immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Supramax.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;See the definition of Handymax above. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TCE.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Time charter equivalent, or TCE, is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel on a per-voyage basis. Our
method
of calculating TCE is consistent with industry standards and is determined by dividing revenues (net of voyage expenses) by available days for the relevant time period. TCE is a standard shipping
industry performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period changes in a shipping company's performance despite changes in the mix of charter types
(i.e.,&nbsp;spot charters, time charters and bareboat charters) under which the vessels may be employed during specific periods. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Time charter.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A charter under which the vessel owner is paid charterhire on a per-day basis for a specified period of time. Typically,
the ship owner receives semi-monthly charterhire payments on a U.S. Dollar-per-day basis and is responsible for providing the crew and paying vessel operating
expenses while the charterer is responsible for paying the voyage expenses and additional voyage insurance. Under time charters, including trip time charters, the charterer pays voyage expenses such
as port, canal and fuel costs and bunkers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Trip charter.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A time charter for a trip to carry a specific cargo from a load port to a discharge port at a set daily rate. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vessel operating expenses.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The costs of operating a vessel, primarily consisting of crew wages and associated costs, insurance premiums,
management
fees, lube oil, bunker and spare part costs, and repair and maintenance costs. Vessel operating expenses exclude fuel costs, port expenses, agents' fees, canal dues and extra war risk insurance
premiums, as well as commissions, which are included in "voyage expenses." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voyage charter.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A voyage charter involves the carriage of a specific amount and type of cargo on a load port-to-discharge
port basis, subject to various cargo handling terms. Most of these charters are of a single voyage nature, as trading patterns do not encourage round voyage trading. The owner of the vessel receives
one payment derived by multiplying the tonnage of cargo loaded on board by the agreed upon freight rate expressed on a U.S. Dollar-per-ton basis. The owner is responsible for
the payment of all voyage and operating expenses, as well as the capital costs of the vessel. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Voyage expenses.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expenses incurred due to a vessel's traveling from a loading port to a discharging port, such as fuel (bunkers) costs,

March&nbsp;15, 2010, the Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO") of 16,300,000 common shares at $14.00 per share, which resulted in gross proceeds of $228,200,000.
After underwriting commissions and other registration expenses, the Company received net proceeds of $210,394,788 to be used by the Company for completion of the acquisition of its initial fleet of
vessels as well as for working capital purposes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Prior
to the IPO, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genco Shipping&nbsp;&amp; Trading Limited
("Genco" or "Parent"). After the completion of the IPO and issuance of restricted shares, Genco owned, directly or indirectly, 5,699,088 shares of the Company's Class&nbsp;B stock, representing a
25.35% ownership interest in the Company and 83.59% of the aggregate voting power of the Company's outstanding shares of voting stock. Genco made a capital contribution of $75,000,000 and surrendered
100 shares of capital stock in connection with Genco's subscription for 5,699,088 of the Company's Class&nbsp;B stock pursuant to the subscription agreement entered into between Genco and the
Company. Additionally, pursuant to the subscription agreement, for so long as Genco directly or indirectly holds at least 10% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of the Company's common
stock and Class&nbsp;B stock, Genco will be entitled to receive at no cost an additional number of shares of Class&nbsp;B stock equal to 2% of the number of common shares issued in the future,
other than shares issued under the Company's 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.&nbsp;GAAP for interim financial information
and the rules and regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of financial position and operating results have been included in the statements. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements included in the Company's Registration Statement on

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deferred
Registration costs represent costs associated with preparing the Company for a public offering. Such costs consist primarily of professional fees and
printing costs. These costs were offset against proceeds received from the IPO, which closed on March&nbsp;15, 2010. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><U>Deferred financing costs</U> </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deferred
financing costs consist of fees, commissions and legal expenses associated with obtaining loan facilities. These costs will be amortized over the life
of the related loan facility and are included in interest expense. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deferred
revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as income when earned. Additionally,
deferred revenue includes estimated customer claims mainly due to time charter performance issues. As of June&nbsp;30, 2010 and December&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company had a reserve of $24,856 and $0,
respectively, related to these estimated customer claims. </FONT></P>

Company depreciates the cost of its vessels, including the sale and purchase commission paid to Genco, on a straight-line basis over their
estimated useful lives, which the Company expects to be approximately 25&nbsp;years from the date of initial delivery from the shipyard, based on the types of vessels the Company has purchased and
plans to purchase. Depreciation is based on cost less estimated residual value. Furthermore, the Company estimates the residual values of its vessels to be based upon $175 per lightweight ton, which

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The computation of net income per share of common stock and Class&nbsp;B shares is in accordance with ASC 260&#151;Earnings Per Share, using the two-class method.
Under these provisions, basic net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and Class&nbsp;B shares outstanding during the year, except that it does not include
nonvested stock awards subject to repurchase or cancellation. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares
outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of nonvested stock awards (see Note&nbsp;13&#151;Nonvested Stock Awards) for the common shares, for which the assumed proceeds
upon vesting are deemed to be the amount of compensation cost attributable to future services and not yet recognized using the treasury stock method, to the extent dilutive. Of the 478,500 nonvested
shares outstanding at June&nbsp;30, 2010 (see Note&nbsp;13&#151;Nonvested Stock Awards), none are anti-dilutive. The computation of the diluted net income per share of common
stock assumes the conversion of Class&nbsp;B shares, while the diluted net income per share of Class&nbsp;B stock does not assume the conversion of those shares. </FONT></P>

Further, the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Marshall Islands law embody safeguards against modifying the identical rights of the Company's common stock and
Class&nbsp;B stock to dividends. Specifically, Marshall Islands law provides that amendments to the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation which would have the effect of adversely
altering the powers, preferences, or special rights of a given class of stock (in this case the right of the Company's common stock to receive an equal dividend to any declared on the Company's
Class&nbsp;B stock) must be approved by the class of stock adversely affected by the proposed amendment. As a result, and in accordance with ASC 260&#151;Earnings Per Share, the undistributed
earnings are allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the common and Class&nbsp;B shares as if the earnings for the year had been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend
rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis. Further, as the conversion of Class&nbsp;B shares is assumed in the computation of the diluted net income per

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On April&nbsp;16, 2010, the Company entered into a $100,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with Nordea Bank Finland&nbsp;plc, acting through its New York branch (the
"2010 Credit Facility"). The 2010 Credit Facility matures on April&nbsp;16, 2014, and borrowings under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25% per annum. A commitment
fee of 1.25% per annum is payable on the unused daily portion of the 2010 Credit Facility which began accruing on March&nbsp;18, 2010 under the terms of the commitment letter entered into on
February&nbsp;25, 2010. In connection with the commitment letter, the Company paid an upfront fee of $312,500. Additionally, upon executing the 2010 Credit Facility, the Company paid the remaining
upfront fee of $937,500, for total fees of $1,250,000. Of the total facility amount of $100,000,000, $25,000,000 is available for working capital purposes. As of June&nbsp;30, 2010, total available
working capital borrowings were $15,025,000 as $9,975,000 was drawn down during the three months ended June&nbsp;30, 2010. As of June&nbsp;30, 2010, $90,025,000 remains available under the 2010
Credit Facility. The Company intends to use borrowings under the facility to pay the balance of the purchase price for the Metrostar vessels. Refer to Note&nbsp;4&#151;Vessel Acquisitions for
further information regarding these vessels and the deposits paid on them. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company intends to use the 2010 Credit Facility primarily for bridge financing for future vessel acquisitions. Borrowings, except those for working capital purposes, are to be repaid
with proceeds from follow-on equity offerings or otherwise within twelve months from drawdown. Borrowings not repaid within such twelve months will be converted into term loans and repaid
in equal monthly installments over the subsequent twelve-month period. All amounts outstanding, including borrowings for working capital, must be repaid in full on the 2010 Credit Facility's maturity
date. </FONT></P>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Genco, the Company's parent, provides the Company with commercial, technical, administrative and strategic services necessary to support the Company's business pursuant to the Company's
Management Agreement with Genco. The management fees agreed upon pursuant to the Management Agreement consist of the following: commercial service fee of 1.25% of gross charter revenues earned by each
vessel; technical services fee of $750 per vessel per day (subject to annual increases based on changes in the Consumer Price Index); and sale and purchase fees equal to 1% of the gross purchase or
sale price upon the consummation of any purchase or sale of a vessel by the Company. Subject to early termination in certain circumstances, the initial term of the Management Agreement will expire on
June&nbsp;30, 2025. If not terminated, the Management Agreement automatically renews for a five-year period and will thereafter be extended in additional five-year increments
if the Company does not provide notice of termination in the fourth quarter of the year immediately preceding the end of the relevant term. If the Company terminates the agreement without cause or for
Genco's change of control, or if Genco terminates the agreement for the Company's material breach or change of control, the Company must make a termination payment to Genco in a single lump sum within
30&nbsp;days of the termination date. The termination payment is generally calculated as the five times the average annual management fees payable to Genco for the last five completed years of the
term of the Management Agreement, or such lesser number of years as may have been completed at the time of termination. If the Management Agreement terminates during its initial year, the termination
payment will be approximately $9.6&nbsp;million, based on five times an amount of approximately $1.9&nbsp;million. Refer to Note&nbsp;6&#151;Related Party Transaction for any costs
incurred during the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2010 pursuant to the Management Agreement. </FONT></P>

responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Baltic Trading Limited as of December&nbsp;31, 2009, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the period from October&nbsp;6, 2009 (date of inception) through December&nbsp;31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><U>1 - GENERAL INFORMATION</U> </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Baltic Trading Limited (the "Company") was formed on October&nbsp;6, 2009, under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genco
Investments&nbsp;LLC, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genco Shipping&nbsp;&amp; Trading Limited ("Genco"). The Company was formed to own and employ drybulk vessels in the spot market.
The spot market represents immediate chartering of a vessel, usually for single voyages. As of December&nbsp;31, 2009, Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC owns 100% of the capital stock of the Company. The
authorized capital stock of the Company consists
of 100 shares of capital stock, par value $.01 per share, all of which have been issued to Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC. Genco and Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC (collectively, the "Parent"), have
funded the Company's costs since inception, and the Company currently does not have any other means of financing its costs. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><U>2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES</U> </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><U>Basis of Presentation</U> </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><U>Cash and cash equivalents</U> </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company considers highly liquid investments such as time deposits and certificates of deposit with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><U>Deferred registration costs</U> </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deferred
Registration costs represent costs associated with preparing the Company for a public offering. Such costs consist primarily of professional fees and
printing costs. These costs will offset proceeds received from the proposed initial public offering. However, if the initial public offering is aborted or delayed, such costs will be expensed. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><U>Due to parent</U> </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due
to parent consists of amounts due to the Parent. If the initial public offering is successful, such costs are reimbursable to the Parent. If the initial
public offering is unsuccessful, such amounts will be borne by the Parent. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><U>Earnings per share</U> </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Earnings
per share has been calculated by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of capital shares outstanding during the period. There are no
capital stock equivalents, and as a result, there is no dilution for the period October&nbsp;6, 2009 through December&nbsp;31, 2009. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><U>Income taxes</U> </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company is incorporated in the Marshall Islands. Pursuant to the income tax laws of the Marshall Islands, the Company is not subject to Marshall Islands
income tax. The Company has no United States operations and no United States source income. Thus, the Company is not currently subject to income tax in the United States. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><U>3 - CASH FLOW INFORMATION</U> </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the period from October&nbsp;6, 2009 through December&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company had non-cash financing activities not included in the Statement of Cash Flows for
items included in due to parent consisting of $834,109 associated with deferred registration costs paid for by the Parent. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2><U>4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS</U> </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February&nbsp;19, 2010, the Company entered into agreements with subsidiaries of an unaffiliated third-party seller to purchase four 2009 built Supramax drybulk vessels for an
aggregate price of approximately $140.0&nbsp;million. On February&nbsp;22, 2010, the Company also entered into agreements with
subsidiaries of another unaffiliated third-party seller to purchase two Capesize drybulk vessels for an aggregate price of approximately $144.2&nbsp;million. These Capesize vessels are in the
process of being built. The purchases are subject to the completion of this offering as well as customary additional documentation and closing conditions. Following the execution of these agreements,
the Company paid cumulative deposits totaling $35.5&nbsp;million to the aforementioned unaffiliated parties using funds advanced by the Parent. Both the Company and the unaffiliated third-party
sellers have the option to cancel the purchase agreements described above if the planned initial public offering is not completed by March&nbsp;16, 2010, in which event the deposits will be returned
to the Company. The Company intends to finance these vessels using proceeds from the planned offering as well as from the sale of shares of Class&nbsp;B Stock to Genco Investments&nbsp;LLC. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
February&nbsp;25, 2010, the Company entered into a commitment letter with Nordea Bank Finland&nbsp;plc, acting through its New York branch ("Nordea"), for a $100&nbsp;million
senior secured revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the commitment letter, the credit facility would have a maturity date of four years after the date on which definitive documentation for
the facility is executed, and borrowings under the facility would bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25% per annum. Upon entering into the commitment letter, the Company paid an
upfront fee of $312,500 to Nordea. Additionally, upon entering into the credit facility, the Company will be required to pay an additional upfront fee of $937,500. Upon closing of the credit facility,
the upfront fees will be deferred and amortized over the term of the credit facility. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;text-align:justify"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Entry
into the credit facility will be subject to completion of the Company's planned initial public offering with gross proceeds to the Company of at least $150&nbsp;million, a
concurrent capital contribution to the Company of $75&nbsp;million from the Parent, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, and customary conditions and documentation, including payment of an upfront
fee. Availability of the credit facility will be subject to the Company's acquisition of its initial fleet of six vessels for a minimum aggregate purchase price of $225&nbsp;million (except that the
Company may fulfill this condition in respect of its second Capesize vessel to be delivered by providing cash collateral equal to $225&nbsp;million minus the aggregate purchase price of its first
five vessels expected to be delivered), and other conditions and documentation relating to the collateral securing the facility. </FONT></P>

claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Registrant by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

(the &#147;Company&#148;), in connection with the preparation and filing of a
Registration Statement on Form&nbsp;S-1, including the prospectus contained
therein (the &#147;Prospectus&#148;), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;Registration
Statement&#148;) with respect to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, of&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; shares

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:1.0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For
purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have reviewed and relied upon the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus and such other documents, records, and

opinion we have relied upon certain statements of factual matters made by the
Company, which we have neither investigated nor verified.&#160; We have assumed that such statements are
true, correct, complete, and not breached, and that no actions that are
inconsistent with such statements will be taken.&#160; We have also assumed that all statements made
&#147;to the best knowledge of&#148; or &#147;beliefs&#148; of any persons other than the Company
will be true, correct, and complete as if made without such qualification.&#160; Any inaccuracy in, or breach of, any of the
aforementioned statements and assumptions, or any change after the date hereof
in applicable law, could adversely affect our opinion.&#160; No ruling has been (or will be) sought from
the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;Service&#148;) by the Company as to the United
States federal income tax consequences to holders of Common Stock.&#160; The opinion expressed herein is not binding
on the Service or any court, and there can be no assurance that the Service or
a court of competent jurisdiction will not disagree with such opinion.</font></p>
